Game Prediction
In the 17th round of the Greek Super League on January 6, 2025, Panetolikos will face Olympiacos. To maintain their lead at the top of the table, the visitors from Piraeus must secure a win against a home team performing well this season.
Our prediction for the Panetolikos vs Olympiacos match
The "Canaries" collected 27 points in the previous season after 26 matches in the regular championship, formally entering the relegation battle. However, they comfortably finished in 9th place. The "Legend" of Greek football, Olympiacos, had a relatively weak domestic campaign, finishing third, but their coach Mendilibar, who arrived in 2024, compensated with a triumph in the Conference League.
This season, the "Red-Whites" have finally climbed to the top of the Super League standings. In 2024, they achieved 10 wins with only two losses, earning 34 points—one more than reigning champions PAOK. In the Europa League, despite an opening loss to Lyon, they bounced back with nine points in subsequent games.
Panetolikos, under Petrakis, have been performing decently by their standards. Six wins and 23 points place them comfortably in sixth position.
The hosts average just 0.94 goals scored per game but concede even fewer—0.75. Meanwhile, Olympiacos has an even better defensive record, conceding 0.69 goals per match and scoring 1.75, thanks in part to El Kaabi and his teammates.
