Match Analysis
Panathinaikos host OFI at Olympic Stadium of Athens in Super League 1, Regular Season - 11. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 21 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Panathinaikos — All Games: 4W 3D 3L from 10 Super League 1 outings this season, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: L D W W W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Panathinaikos have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Panathinaikos at Olympic Stadium of Athens this season: 5W 4D 1L from 10 home games — 1.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Looking at all fixtures this season, OFI stand at 5W 1D 4L from 10 Super League 1 matches — 1.60 PPG. Last five: L W W L W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.20. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. OFI have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
On the road, OFI have gone 2W 3D 5L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Panathinaikos 1.50 PPG, OFI 1.60 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Panathinaikos register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, OFI in 80% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Head to Head
Panathinaikos hold a clear advantage in this fixture, picking up 6 wins from 10 previous encounters compared to 1 for OFI, with 3 draws in between.
The 10 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 3.0 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 4 Mar 2026, ended 4–1 with Panathinaikos winning.
From a betting standpoint, the H2H backs both Panathinaikos and goals. The home side's 6 wins from 10 meetings, combined with an average of 3.0 goals per game, gives the home win and Over 2.5 combination a historically grounded case.
In-Play Profile
Panathinaikos in-play tendencies (35 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 65% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (home games).
OFI in-play tendencies (35 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 76% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Panathinaikos 51% versus OFI 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Panathinaikos 51% | OFI 66%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Panathinaikos 2.19 xG and OFI 1.00 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Panathinaikos attack 1.327 / defence 0.969 | OFI attack 1.026 / defence 1.094. League average goals — home 1.511 / away 1.004. Panathinaikos carry an above-average attack strength of 1.327 — their λ of 2.19 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 29 Panathinaikos games / 29 OFI games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: Panathinaikos 62% | Draw 25% | OFI 13%. Fair-value odds: Panathinaikos 1.61 | Draw 4.00 | OFI 7.69. The model has a clear lean to Panathinaikos (62%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.19. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.19 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Panathinaikos at 62% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 25% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.19 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 62% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: Panathinaikos 60% | OFI 80% BTTS from recent games.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (29 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

How the Model Works This Match
Working from Panathinaikos's attack rating (1.33) and OFI's defence rating (1.09), the model arrives at 2.19 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, OFI's attack versus Panathinaikos's defence, projects 1.00 expected goals for the visitors.
The sample (29/29 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.
