Apollon Smirnis vs Panathinaikos

The match for the weekend’s Greek Super League earlier this week will present the match between Apollon Smirnis, who acted as host, host Panathinaikos at the Stadio Georgios Kamaras. History will record this match to be their 8th meeting match since 2013 and from the previous 7 meetings Apollon Smirnis was only able to score 1 win while Panathinaikos 4 won and 2 draws.

Panathinaikos’s victory was included in the last meeting in November where at that time they played as hosts and beat Apollon Smirnis home with a 5-1 defeat. F. Macheda bought 2 goals in the match then D. Kourmpelis, E. Insúa and M. Johansson 1 goal each. It was quite interesting even though in the possession of the ball at that time the two teams did not differ much, but indeed Panathinaikos was more effective in taking advantage of opportunities.

But Panathinaikos did not have good capital to face this match, they failed to win in the last 3 matches. Panathinaikos’s losing streak against Panionios and PAOK Saloniki but in the last game slightly improved 0-0 draw with AEK Athens. Instead for Apollon Smirnis they failed to win in the last 5 games, only drew 1 match against OFI Crete, 4 remaining games were defeated.

Getting a home advantage is indeed an advantage for a team but unfortunately Apollon Smirnis cannot escape the worst team stamp of the season. They are still the standings team with only 10 points, picking 2 wins in this season makes them even more doubtful in every match. Most likely Panathinaikos will win.
