A draw in Sunday’s Avenue derby didn’t change the balance and left his accounts open. Panathinaic And her AEK in pursuit of the title.
Everything will be decided in the last three games, and the schedule is approximately the same, with no clear advantage for any of the teams that have two home games and one away game: The Greens play in sequence: on Wednesday against PAOK at Leoforos, on Sunday against Olympiakos at (doors closed due to suspension) G. Karaiskakis” and a week later with Aris on the avenue (or in the OAKA for the fiesta, if by that time they also mathematically secured the championship), and The Yellow-Blacks play Olympiakos in Agia Sofia, Aris in Thessaloniki and Volos in North Philadelphia on the same dates..
Everything remains on the razor’s edge: Panathinaikos has a slight advantage over AEK as they keep the ball at their feet and depend only on their own results. With three wins, he will celebrate his first title since 2010, no matter what AEK does in their games..
With an absolute balance in the first two criteria (results and goal difference in matches between them), the advantage is obtained from 3 a criterion that gives advantage in the event of a tie to the team that finished in a higher position during the regular season of the championship, as a reward for its presence in the first 26 matches. If, according to the regulations, as in previous years, the team with the best overall goal difference was awarded, then AEK would have the advantage.
The upcoming game day, in which Panathinaikos take on PAOK and AEK take on Olympiacos, could prove to be decisive. Two teams went to fight for the title against two others who had to chase three.her a position that under certain conditions (depending on who wins the Cup) will decide the ticket for Europe league. And, most likely, neither of these two games will be easy for the contenders.
Olympiacos are the only team to have beaten Agia Sophia and have the motivation to do so again, especially now that they are heading there more rested after a quiet 5-0 win over Volos. On the other hand, PAOK is the only team that has bothered (almost flawless) Panathinaikos defensively. In 33 league matches and 4 more cup matches out of 37, the Greens conceded only 16 (13+3) goals. 8 of them from 14 teams in 32 matches and the rest 8 (5+3) only from PAOK who scored in all 5 of their games are really undefeated (twice) this year at Leoforos!
As everything balances on a thin red line, it’s clear that (all sorts of) details will make a difference in a title fight. The wrong choice of managers, a goal conceded, the referee’s shortsightedness, a defensive blunder or an unfortunate moment can decide the outcome of the championship forever, as there are only three games left and there is not much time to react. Every mistake can be paid dearly, and this puts even more pressure on the coaches of the two gladiators and their players.
