PAS Giannina Prediction
PAS Giannina ran out easy 3-1 winners at home over Panionios last time out in the Greek top flight but they still remain in the bottom half of the Super League in 12th place and face a tough challenge against high-flying AEK Athens on Monday night even though they’re at home.
Giannina have produced mixed results in recent weeks as they registered a previous win over Levadiakos 2-0 at home but also tasted defeat to Larissa and Asteras Tripolis as well which have meant the hosts have stayed near the lower reaches of the division.
The hosts possess a reasonable home record of 3-2-1 7/4 with their glimmer of hope being the fact that of the four wins they’ve recorded so far this season, three of them have been registered on home turf.
Giannina are also unbeaten in their last four home matches too, while forward Krizman (3 goals) looks their best bet to score on Monday night.
Key-Facts – Giannina v AEK
- Giannina are unbeaten in their last four matches at home
- AEK Athens have won 2 of their last 3 matches
- AEK Athens have lost just once in their last five away matches
AEK Prediction
AEK Athens sit in fourth place in the Greek top flight thanks to a recent three-match sequence without defeat, a run that includes wins over Xanthi and Lamia, both by 2-0 margins at home along with a point away at Larissa in a 0-0 stalemate.
The visitors have therefore kept three clean sheets in a row which will have pleased manager Marinos Ouzounidis as his side had previously suffered back-to-back defeats to Atromitos and Panaitolikos in surprising losses.
AEK still occupy the last remaining spot for the Europa League qualifiers, but three points tonight would move them closer to the top two positions and a possible chance at the Champions League qualifiers.
The visitors possess an away record of 3-2-2 7/4 which includes just one defeat from their last five matches on the road, while wins at Asteras Tripolis, OFI Crete and Apollon Smirnis gives them a good chance of getting something from their trip to Giannina here.
Forwards Ponce (7 goals) and Livaja (4 goals) look the most likely for AEK in this one.
Betting Tips Verdict
Giannina have been pretty solid at home but AEK perhaps possess that little bit of extra quality. Play the handicap on AEK here.
