A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Panathinaikos and PAOK know what's at stake in this second leg of the Greek Cup Quarter-finals clash.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Panathinaikos and PAOK.
Panathinaikos form and stats
Panathinaikos was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Greek Cup. Lamia was too strong.6 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Panathinaikos have to build on here at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis in the Super League. On the other hand, in the Greek Cup, Panathinaikos has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. Panathinaikos are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Panathinaikos lost their last game at AEK Athens after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at PAOK in the Greek Cup.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Panathinaikos as they have a new game in only four days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Panaitolikos are visiting.
Panathinaikos have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis with 17 goals in 11 league matches. From these home matches, Panathinaikos have conceded only 9 goals.
PAOK form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for PAOK, as they won the Greek Cup.PAOK's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed PAOK collect 23 points from their 11 away matches in the Super League. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). When we have look at the Greek Cup statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away.
Impressive finishing from Chuba Akpom (2) and Lazaros Lamprou secured the home win 4-0 against OFI in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Panathinaikos in the Greek Cup.
As mentioned above, PAOK was the only team on the pitch versus OFI in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
PAOK has another fixture away, a Super League game, against Larissa in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
