Certainly the derbies are what people look forward to, but the championship is not judged only on them. It is often judged more by the course of a team in the less… “shiny” games and so on Panathinaikos has proven since last summer that he is doing great in this part.
It is typical that in last year’s and so far in this year’s championship, Panathinaikos has 24 wins in 28 games against teams outside AEK, Olympiakos, PAOK and Ari in the league. He has lost just nine points against the rest of the league teams, with his only “mishaps” being three draws and one loss: These were on 21/12/2022 in a 1-1 draw with Ionian in Nice, on 28/12/2022 2022 in 1-1 with OFI in Leoforos, on 30/1/2023 in 1-0 by Asteras in Tripoli and on 2/4/2023 in 0-0 with Volos in Leoforos for the playoffs.
This year Ivan Jovanovic’s team has no losses in points in games other than the Big 5 counting 8/8 wins and even with a coefficient in these games of 26 goals in favor and only 2 against!
It is typical that Panathinaikos season 2021/22, Ivan Jovanovic’s first on the bench, had 22 lost points against teams other than AEK, Olympiakos, PAOK and Aris in the league and in the playoffs. After all, in the last period before the arrival of the Serbian coach (2020/21), the “greens” had lost 26 points (!) against the other teams.
