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: 3W 4D 3L from 10 Super League 1 outings this season, averaging 1.30 points per game. Last five: D L L D W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. 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 1.80 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 1.90 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Panathinaikos are significantly better at Olympic Stadium of Athens than their overall form suggests.
Looking at all fixtures this season, OFI stand at 4W 1D 5L from 10 Super League 1 matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L L W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. 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.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Panathinaikos 1.30 PPG, OFI 1.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
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 (33 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).
OFI in-play tendencies (33 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 81% 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 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 81% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Panathinaikos 48% versus OFI 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Panathinaikos 48% | OFI 70%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Panathinaikos 1.77 xG and OFI 0.99 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 1.077 / defence 0.964 | OFI attack 1.030 / defence 1.113. League average goals — home 1.474 / away 0.997. Data: 27 Panathinaikos games / 28 OFI games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: Panathinaikos 54% | Draw 27% | OFI 19%. Fair-value odds: Panathinaikos 1.85 | Draw 3.70 | OFI 5.26. Panathinaikos hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.76. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.76 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% 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 54% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Panathinaikos offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.76 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 52% 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 54%. Form rates corroborate: Panathinaikos 50% | OFI 80% BTTS from recent games.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (27 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 (1.08) and OFI's defence rating (1.11), the model arrives at 1.77 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, OFI's attack versus Panathinaikos's defence, projects 0.99 expected goals for the visitors.
The sample (27/28 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.
