For the first match of the semifinals of the Greek Cup, Panathinaikos will host at the stadium of Leoforos in Lamia. A replay will follow on May 4 in Lamia, the regulation of the away goal is in force.
Panathinaikos was the big winner in the derby for the championship against Olympiakos, prevailing on the Avenue of its eternal opponent with 1-0. Fair dominance for the greens as they were superior throughout the match with a goal they scored a few minutes before the break while defensively they were not in danger at all from their opponent.
With this victory, Panathinaikos remains in the bay for a European ticket, at the end of the first half of the play offs is in 4th place with 51 points and minus 2 from the 3rd Mars.
In the previous round of the cup, it easily eliminated Anagennisi Karditsa with two victories and of course his goal is to win the trophy after 8 years.
Lamia is the pleasant surprise of the institution as its presence only in the semifinals of the cup is considered a success in itself. In the previous round he left out Mars, in the first match drew 0-0 in Thessaloniki while in the replay prevailed 1-0.
However, all this at the specific time passes in the second place as well the team's stay in the big category is paramount.
Last Saturday, it welcomed Ionikos and after a bad performance, it lost 1-0. This was the third defeat in a row and the ninth in the last 10 games for Lamia, only the fact that it remains after a total of 30 games even with one point above the tail of the Apollon Smyrna standings.
The competitive situation of the two teams is completely opposite. Panathinaikos comes from a great victory in the championship and has a big goal in the cup, unlike Lamia who has been going through a competitive crisis for a long time and her mind is on the final of the championship. All the data show an easy victory for the greens, my choice is their victory with at least 2 goals difference.
Proposal: Panathinaikos - Lamia 1 (-1.5 A.H.) with odds of 2.00
