AE Larissa vs Panathinaikos Athens Match Preview
If Larisa fail to defeat Panathinaikos on Sunday at the AEL FC Arena then club supporters will begin looking at their potential rivals in the Greek Second Division, the Football League. While Nikos Kostenoglou’s side won’t be relegated mathematically, realistically with such a difficult schedule to finish off the season, Larisa will know that winning their last few home games are absolutely vital as the club have failed to win an away match all season.
Panathinaikos could have cut the lead on Olympiakos last weekend however they ended up tying Atromitos 1-1 in a disappointing display. Jesualdo Ferreira’s team appear to be gearing up for the playoffs at this stage as a 10-point deficit with six matches remaining may be too much in regards to challenging for the title. They will want to keep up the pressure on Olympiakos with a win in Larisa, but the truth is that securing a Champions’ League spot is now the team’s main objective.
