Panathinaikos welcome eternal rivals Olympiacos to Athens for a Greek Super League matchday seven clash on Sunday. The hosts are coming off a 1-1 draw away to Borac BB in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
They took the lead through Anastasios Bakasetas' 11th-minute strike while Djordje Despotovic equalized five minutes into the second half.
The Shamrock will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last game saw them suffer a 2-0 defeat away to AEK Athens in the Athenian derby last weekend.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, saw off Braga with a comfortable 3-0 home win in the UEFA Europa League. Ayoub El Kaabi was the star of the show as the Morrocan scored either side of Santiago Hezze to help the Red-Whites claim maximum points.
Their last league game came in a routine 2-0 home victory over Atromitos.
The win took Jose Luis Mendilibar's side to second spot in the table, having garnered 13 points from six games. Panathinaikos are eighth on eight points.
Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the 222nd meeting between the two sides. Olympiacos were victorious on 87 occasions, and Panathinaikos have 57 wins to their name while 77 games ended in a share of the spoils.
- One of those draws came in their most recent clash in May 2024 when they canceled each other out in a 2-2 stalemate.
- Five of Olympiacos' last six competitive games have seen at least one side keep a clean sheet.
- Panathinaikos have won just one of their last five competitive games (three draws).
- Panathinaikos are unbeaten in the last five head-to-head games (three wins).
Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos Prediction
Panathinaikos are still seeking to end their 14-year league drought - their longest wait for a league title in over eight decades. They have started the season poorly with just two wins to their name so far.
Olympiacos, for their part, rebounded from their opening-day loss in the Europa League with their win over Braga. They are one point behind current table-toppers and defending champions AEK Athens in the league and could go top if they win here.
This is one of the most fiercely-contested derbies on the continent and games between these two sides tend to be feisty and difficult to predict. We are backing the spoils to be shared.
Prediction: Panathinaikos 1-1 Olympiacos
