Asteras Tripolis – Panathinaikos

For the 20th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, Asteras Tripoli hosts Panathinaikos at Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium.

It continues to trouble them Asteras Tripolis lately, as well in Heraklion against OFI and could not avoid a 1-0 defeat. A match with few phases mainly in the first part, with Asteras in the replay playing for the tie, ignoring phases in the opponent's goal and in the end he paid for it by conceding the losing goal just before the end of the match.
This was the 3rd matchday for Asteras without a win, and without having scored, and with just one win in the last 6 matches resulting in has slipped to 11th place with 18 points, minus 9 from the top six and plus 6 from the bottom two.

A bad result for Panathinaikos the previous matchday, they were defeated in Leoforos by PAOK with 3-0. On both sides, the opportunities in this period, the biggest (crossbar) for the "two-headed", with Panathinaikos just before the end of the first part falling behind in the score with an own goal after a pile-up.
In less than 13 seconds at the start of the second half, the "greens" conceded a second goal and since then collapsed as a few minutes later they conceded a third goal and of course it was all over.
This was the first home defeat for Jovanovic's team and most after yesterday's victory of AEK over Aris, it has fallen, for the first time since the beginning of the championship, in 2nd place with 45 points against 47 of the Union.
In the middle of the week, he didn't even make it in the cup, in the second leg of the 2-0 defeat in Toumba, he was left with a 1-1 draw and was fatally eliminated from the rest of the tournament.

Asteras Tripolis, despite the recent change in the bench, seems to be searching and has lost enough ground for the goal of the top six. In any case, he is always competitive at the same time that Panathinaikos comes from consecutive bad results and is called upon to react. I think that easily or difficult the greens will get the victory that will bring them back to the top of the standings.

Prediction: Asteras Tripoli - Panathinaikos 2 with a performance of 1.92
