A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Panathinaikos fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Panaitolikos's 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Panaitolikos are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
