Panathinaikos vs Atromitos Prediction: Atromitos will face the impossible

This is a match from the first round that was delayed because Panathinaikos were playing European matches. Now Panathinaikos are part of Europa League, but they must win in matches against opponents like Atromitos if they want to fight for the title. Atromitos on the other hand are still winless in the league and against Panathinaikos have terrible stats.

Panathinaikos didn’t win in the big derby matches they played against PAOK and AEK, so now they can’t afford to lose any more points. It seems that playing in the Europa League is affecting the players and they are feeling more tired. Panathinaikos are in 3rd position with 13 points won from 6 matches. They got 4 wins, a draw and a defeat, goal difference of 16:5. At home against Atromitos they have a great score and they should win this match without any doubt.

Atromitos are having a terrible season so far, after 6 matches they have 3 draws,3 defeats, and a goal difference of 4:10. As visitors they have 3 defeats and a draw, and it is clear that in a match against a title contender, they will need a miracle to get a point. In the last away match, they faced AEK and even though they were close to getting a point, they conceded a goal. In the last round they were hoping to get their first win at home, but they played a goalless draw against Asteras.

The winner in this match is not questionable, Panathinaikos have everything to easily win this match. There aren’t any major injured players or absent, they are playing in front of their fans which is always big motive for them and their opponent is very bad this season. Atromitos will try to make a surprise, but their main goal will be to lose decent and to conced to many goals.
