Panathinaikos and Giannina to clash in a top-five battle

PAS Giannina will be given another chance to prove their top-four credentials as they face Panathinaikos, in a must-win clash for both clubs.

The Greens host the “Ajax” of Epirus at “Leoforos Alexandras” on Monday morning (AEDT) and they have the advantage of extra rest time over their near rivals after their midweek match with Apollon Smyrnis was postponed.

Giannina will hold out hope they can pull out a result and stop their opponents from taking their position of fourth, looking back to their earlier clash this season when they secured a 1-0 win over the Athens giants.

Olympiacos faces Lamia at Karaiskaki stadium and will look to make light work of their opposition as they continue their dominance as league leaders.
