PAS Giannina get ready to welcome Panathinaikos for something different than the ordinary league football: The Greek Cup Quarter-finals leg 1 of 2.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Super League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Panaitolikos, so at least Giannina are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
PAS Giannina form and stats
Last season, PAS Giannina's Greek Cup journey ended in the group stage.With 1 Super League win, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, PAS Giannina are certainly not brimming with confidence. Giannina are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Zosimades, having lost their two previous games here.
A strong away win for Giannina against Panaitolikos the last match, as Sandi Križman and Giannis Kargas were on target. Before that match, a Greek Cup win away at Atromitos.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Giannina, as the Super League home game vs PAOK is only four days away.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Giannina here at Stadio Zosimades in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 10 games). 11 goals have been conceded.
Panathinaikos form and stats
Panathinaikos was sent out of Greek Cup in the quarter-finals last season, when PAOK turned out to be too strong.6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Panathinaikos playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Panathinaikos has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against PAOK.
Two travels in a row for Panathinaikos, whose manager L. Bölöni could celebrate last time after the Super League win against Atromitos. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Lamia.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager L. Bölöni when Younousse Sankharé scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute.
A quick return to home after this game, as Panathinaikos are hosting Olympiakos Piraeus in the Super League only three days away.
The visiting Panathinaikos have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 11 games. It's not easy to score on Panathinaikos as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
