On Sunday, Panathinaikos will face a major setback in their attempt to continue their… pre-school trio with full success. In order to extend the flawless streak and equalize their historical result since the distant 1995 with 9 wins in a row at the start of the championship, the Greens need to overcome the obstacle of Aris, who is still far behind on points, but he never ceases to be a strong opponent, capable of anything in a successful day.

Panathinaikos gets a lot of energy from a “hot” avenue that will be suffocatingly crowded in one more game, and as stated in the derby with Olympiacos (6/11), Saravakos, Karagounis, Zaets, Roca will be honored.

At the same time as Panathinaikos, PAOK welcomes Asteras Tripoli to Toumba with a very positive aura after winning G. Karaiskakis.

On the contrary, Olympiacos are playing in Agrinio today with a heavy shadow of their derby defeat, with a few changes in the team and a new face in Kostas Fortounis, who entered the top 20 for the first time this year. AEK, second in the standings after Panathinaikos, also has an away task. The Union aims to continue its winning streak in Livadia on Monday, which, together with the Cup, reaches 5 games.

There are other important games on the 9th round schedule, such as Volos in Peristeri, which opens the schedule tonight.

Difficult exit for Olympiacos in Agrinio – AEK test in Livadia – Finally Nioplias from OFI.

Voliotes came as a league surprise with a 3rd-place finish while Atromitos has a better image on the field than on the scoreboard, where he is still on his way to the playoffs. The other two final matches of the schedule are decisive in the battle for survival, in which the opposing teams take the last places.

Ionikos take on PAS Giannina in Naples and reach the standings with a win, while OFI will play Lamia on Monday in Heraklion without Nikos Nioplia on the bench. The 58-year-old coach is a thing of the past for the Cretan team after the defeat – relegation in the Cup from Kifisia, and the total number of dismissed coaches has already reached five!

Schedule (9th match): Saturday: 19.00 Atromitos – Volos, 19.30 Panaitolikos – Olympiakos, Sunday: 16.00 Ionikos – PAS Ioannina, 19.30 PAOK – Asteras Tripoli, 19.30 Panathinaikos – Aris, Monday: 18.00 Levadeakos – AEK, 20.00 OFI – Lamia .
