With three games pitting six of the top seven teams in the league table against each other, the first round of Super League 1 in a special year that will last almost a month and a half due to the unprecedented World Cup being held in the winter instead of the summer as always ends. The light falls naturally on G. Karaiskakis where Olympiacos welcomes AEK in a very important derby that will prove decisive for a title battle, especially if Panathinaikos ends their game with Atromitos with a victory. Both teams are on the rise, with the Union retaining advantage over the Reds by 4 points, six points behind the top.

The one who loses in the derby will lose a lot of ground, and the winner will just keep a good distance from the top if the greens do not flinch. It goes without saying that the most favorable scenario for the leader is his victory and a draw in the derby. In this case, the difference will be +8 from AEK and +12 from Olympiacos. Panathinaikos has 11 wins and one draw in 12 games, plays on a crowded and hot avenue, but has the pressure of a favorite and does not forget that the stubborn Atromitos buckled in the last minute of stoppage time at Agia Sofia. and Tumba.

The Greens need a win against Atromitos to capitalize on a derby loss to Karaiskakis.

PAOK salutes Volos and will close the first round in 3rd place with a victory if Olympiacos does not win the derby. It goes without saying that his assignment against an unexpected championship team will not be easy. Derby OFI – Levadeakos in Heraklion is also very important.
