Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos Prediction: The biggest match in Greece without importance

In the last round of the Greece Super League Panathinaikos will welcome their biggest rival Olympiakos. Even though both teams failed in the league this season, they will play in the finals in the next weeks, Panathinaikos in the National Cup final and Olympiakos in the Conference League final, and it seems that both teams are more focused on those finals than the league matches.

Panathinaikos lost in the previous round against PAOK 4:1. They have 3 defeats in a row and currently are in 4th place with 71 points, 2 points less than Olympiakos. It seems that this team has focused entirely on winning the National Cup against Aris and that way qualifying for European competition. However, bad results in the league made the board make some changes to the team so they already announced that Turkish expert Fatih Terim (70) will leave Panathinaikos at the end of this season.

The euphoria of Olympiakos fans is still unrelenting after the historic success in the semi-finals of the Conference League, i.e., the double victory over Aston Villa (4:2 and 2:0), which secured a duel with Fiorentina for the first European trophy. In the league Olympiakos aren’t doing so well, they are in 3rd place with 73 points, and if the results go their way, they can end the season in the 2nd place.

This match always attracts a lot of attention no matter if the teams are fighting for a trophy or it doesn’t have importance. This rivalry is the greatest in all of Greece and the fans are sworn enemies so we can expect a very tense match in which both teams will try to win and bring joy to the fans. As in most derbies in Greece this season I expect many goals from both teams and I think that Olympiakos are closer to winning than Panathinaikos.
