Panaitolikos form and stats

With 1 Super League win, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Panaitolikos are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Panaitolikos manager I. Chavos and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Panionios (placed 14th) in the Greek Cup. Preceding that match was the home Super League game against Atromitos that was lost 0-1.
