Athens Kallithea vs Panathinaikos Prediction: Can Athens Kallithea surprise Panathinaikos?

The last match of the 3rd round in the Greece Super League will be played on Sunday evening between local rivals Athens Kallithea and Panathinaikos. This match should be a local derby, but the teams are on very different levels and have different ambitions. Panathinaikos are a huge favorite to win, and Athens Kallithea will try to do the impossible.

Athens Kallithea are newcomers in this league, and after 2 matches they won only a point. In the first round they played a draw against Levadiakos, In the second round they faced Olympiakos away and lost “only” 2:1, in a match in which they could easily concede more goals. However, they don’t look like a team that will accept to be relegated without a fight, but they will have to look for points against other opponents.

Panathinaikos fulfilled their biggest goal at the start of this season. They defeated Lens in the Europa Conference League qualifications and will be part of that competition this winter. Now they will focus more on the league, they are in 8th place with a win and a defeat in the first two matches. They are highly motivated before this match, and we can expect more from them in this local derby.

It’s clear that Panathinaikos are the favorite in this encounter, in the previous two rounds they were more focused on European matches than on the league, but now it’s different. The last time these teams met in the National Cup was in 2010, and Panathinaikos won 2:0. These teams have played 9 official matches in history and all 9 matches were won by Panathinaikos. I expect another easy win for the Greens, and I expect to see more of their attack, as they score only a goal in the previous two matches.
