Olympiacos vs Panserraikos Match Preview
While Olympiakos will be heavy favorites to defeat Panserraikos at home on Saturday, Ernesto Valverde’s team has no shortage of problems at the moment. The league leaders will be without the services of several first-team players including their usual midfield trio of Ariel Ibagaza, Dudu, and Moises Hurtado. This could mean a return to the starting line-up for young Greek star Ioannis Fetfatzidis, while Valverde may also opt for two strikers up front as the pairing of Marko Pantelic and Kevin Mirallas has been impressive in recent matches.
Panserraikos may have had hopes of securing a good result against AEK last weekend, but the Serres club suffered a 3-1 reverse. That defeat has left the team occupying the last relegation spot and their up-and-down season continues. After beginning the season poorly, then staging a fantastic recovery, the club appear to have reverted back to their early season form.
