For the Sunday ganes in A Ethniki
OFI - Panathinaikos
OFI are rather low in the table with 5 points in 5 games. They come from a loss to Ergotelis at the local derby of Heracleion the capital of Crete, something that had 47 years to happen. OFI look in mediocre form now after a good start of the season. Very important factor in this game is that the family that actually own Panathinaikos is from Crete and have helped OFI. In this game influential regular Drulic (F) and Wellington (D) returns in the squad. OFI will miss regulars Kounenakis (M), Kostadinidis (M). Coach Maurer stated that they will play defensive in this game.
Panathinaikos are 2nd in the table and want to stay close to teh first place. Midweek they had a game for the
Uefa Cup at Ukraine, vs Metallurg Zaporozhye. Panathinaikos had a mediocre performance but the victory and qualification came for teh team. Temporary coach Velic will be and in this game, with him as coach Panathinaikos won their last 3 games. There are negotiations for a new coach in the team. Panathinaikos will have the help of the fans in this game. Tradition favour them vs OFI. In this game they will miss regular Goumas (D), and long time absents influential Gonzales (M), Victor (M).
Very particular games these between Panathinaikos and OFI. Tradition favour Panathinaikos a lot. The guests are much motivated and also the home team is in mediocre form right now. The away win is the more possible result, it can be a single for those who like the odds, or part of a combo.
My bet will be Panathinaikos -1 in the Asian, 1.88 at
Pinnacle, stakes 4/10
PAOK - Kalamaria
PAOK are in the middle of the the table with 7 points in 5 games. Actually not very good or the popular team, however they had difficult schedule and many financial problems. They come from a loss 2-1 away vs Panathinaikos. They are good at home in front of the fans. In thi sgame they will miss regular Rebosio (D). They will play with 4-3-3 formation.
Kalamaria are low in the table with 4 points in 5 games. They come from a draw at home vs Panionios with a rather mediocre performance. In this local derby they want to repeat last seasons victory vs PAOk away, which came in the last round and the teams were unmotivated. In this game they will miss regular Popara (F) also long time absents Vella Junior (M), Perone (F). On the contrary regular Abonsah (D) returns in teh squad.
PAOK are strong at home and favourites in this game. Both teams are motivated for the game. Also both are not in their best form right now. The home ground gives advantage to PAOK. The odds for the home win are low it can be a part of a combo.
My bet will be a combo, Panathinaikos + PAOK = 1.45*1.37 = 1.98 at
Gamebookers, stakes 6/10.
Egaleo - Atromitos
A hot local derby of Western Athens.
Egaleo have 8 points in 5 games, and are doing well so far in teh League. They are good at home, and they play more offensive football tis year. Last year they lost to Atromitos 1-0 at this local derby, and now they want to avenge that. Egaleo come from a home win vs Kerkyra 2-1 with a good performance. They will play with 4-3-3 formation.
Atromitos are low in teh table and need points badly. They come from a draw 2-2 at home vs Iraklis, also midweek they lost at Sevilla 4-0 for the
Uefa Cup, in a game they rested many regulars. Atromitos will play with 3-5-2 formation.
They will miss regulars Lazanas (F), Jibbur (F).
A balanced game as a local derby. Egaleo are in good form and as they play at home they are favourites. Still Atromitos is much motivated and can't afford to lose. The guests travelled to Spain midweek for the
Uefa Cup, however some players were rested.
my bet will be Egaleo on level ball, 1.65 at
Interwetten, stakes 5/10.
Iraklis - Olympiakos
Iraklis are low in the table and need points badly. They also had a game for the
Uefa Cup midweek where they lost 1-0 at home, with a goal at injury time. In the extra time they conceeded another and missed the opportunity for qualification. The morale is low in the team that looks in mediocre form. Iraklis are good at home usually. A team with good offensive line, but not so good defense usually. In this game influential striker Epale returns in the squad. On the contrary they will miss reglars Lawal (M), Prittas (M). Iraklis will play with 4-4-2 formation.
Olympiakos are first in teh table, and have 5 wins in 5 games. Midweek they had a game at Ukraine for the Champions League, when they drew 2-2 with Shakhtar Donetsk. In this game Olympiakos will have some important absents. They will miss influential regulars Rivaldo, Djorjevic (M), also Kafes (M), Ouaddou (D). Olympiakos will play with 4-3-3 formation.
A hard call. Iraklis is much motivated, but look in mediocre form. Olympiakos is the better team, but they have many absents, and also a they had an away game for the Champions League midweek. The away win is the more possible result but teh odds are low. Both teams have good strikers, and also not so good defense, so its a possible over.
My bet will be over 2.25 goals, 2.02 at
Pinnacle, stakes 4/10.
Kerkyra - Ionikos
Kerkyra are in the middle of teh table, with 8 points in 5 games. The team is doing well so far in the League, and have some good performances. They have good defense and are good at home. They come from a loss away 2-1 to Egaleo. In this game they will play with 4-5-1 formation. They will miss influential regular Sidibe (GK), also regular Zaharopoulos (F) that missed the previous game as well.
Ionikos also are in the middle of the table with 7 points. The team have some good performances but they lost their last 2 games. Now they want a positive result and have the quality to achieve that. A team with some good players in the frontline, as travellers they play defensive with counters. They will play with 4-4-2 formation. Ionikos will miss regular Zavanio (D), also influential regular Makor (M) will play.
A balansed game. Kerkyra are good at home, and Ionikos look in good form. Both teams lost in the previous games and don't want to lose again so the draw looks the more possible result. Kerkyra have good defense to stop Ionikos counters still they will miss their keeper. Ionikos defense also can reduce Kerkyra firepower, so the game is a possible under.
My bet will be the draw, stakes 3/10.

Greek Football 30th Sept - 1st Oct
should be able to do it although Panionios showed some progress in his last away performance. 1.7 is not that great but can be taken, less than that I would not recommend.
and despite that team's bad form and bad performance at
