For the second time in over a fortnight, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos will be facing off, this time in the Super League 1. Panathinaikos, the hosts here are third in the standings, a place above Olympiakos. Panathinaikos rose from two straight losses with a win in their last game. They beat Atromitos 2-0 in a cup game with goals from Ruben Perez and Filip Mladenovic. That marked a first clean sheet in three matches, while Panathinaikos have only failed to score in one of their last five matches. Their good scoring run extends to the league matches, having only failed to score in one of their last 10. Both sides scored in four of their last seven league matches. Panathinaikos will know that a win here could send them joint top and they will work their socks off. In their last three meetings with Olympiakos, Panathinaikos are unbeaten.

Olympiakos will be eyeing revenge in this game, following their elimination from the Cup at the hands of Panathinaikos. After putting up a courageous fight in the game, Panathinaikos would go on to win it on penalties, the game having ended 0-0. That was just in mid-January. A fortnight later, the face off again and this time defence will be the main concern. Olympiakos have managed just one clean sheet in five matches but have also failed to score just once. Both sides have scored in six of their last 10 matches. The same is the case in their last three away matches and it will take some effort for Olympiakos to rise above that.
