The home team is understandably seen as a significant underdog in the upcoming clash. Can they defy expectations and compete for points? Find the answer in our prediction. Which event should you bet on?
Command Analysis
Panetolikos
GreeceCurrent Form
This season, Panetolikos is performing noticeably better. Last year, the team finished 12th in the league standings but managed to avoid relegation. Currently, after 16 rounds, they are in sixth place with 20 points. They trail the fifth spot by four points and are three points ahead of their closest rival.
Recently, their results have been less than impressive. In the last five matches, the team secured only one victory, with two draws and two losses. In the final two games of 2024, the hosts failed to score. Breaking this streak in the new year will be challenging, especially since they face the league leaders.

The teams frequently face each other. Looking at the last four head-to-head matches on this field, we see that Olympiacos only won one match by more than one goal.
Panetolikos performs quite well in front of their home fans. For instance, they lost to PAOK and Panathinaikos in recent games by just one goal. In fact, this season, they haven't lost by two or more goals at home. We believe this trend will continue in the upcoming match.
