THE Panathinaikos entered very strongly again in the claim of the championship after the great victory over Olympiakos in “G. Karaiskakis” for the premiere of the playoffs (1-3). The “greens” cut the difference from the top and shouted that they are here to fight for the title until the end.
This was the eighth derby in a row Fatih Terim and the performance of the Turkish coach in these games is an additional reason for optimism for the continuation, since the playoffs are full of such difficult and important matches.
With Terim at the helm, Panathinaikos has three derby wins, two against Olympiakos (2-0 and 1-3) and one against PAOK for the Cup (0-1), it was tied by AEK in stoppage time (2-2) and he was actually only hurt by the defeat by PAOK in the championship (2-1). And that’s because the defeat at Leoforo for the Cup (1-2) didn’t hurt him after qualifying on penalties, as it did after the two draws with Olympiakos in the quarter-finals.
The interruption may cut the momentum that the “greens” have after the triumph in Faliro, but at the same time it allows time for the wounded to return. With the next game on March 31, it is assumed that Juancar, Senkefeld and Jedvai will return, Vagiannidis served his sentence, while Dragovski’s tests are expected today. The Pole will take out magnetic and there is optimism that he has prevented some serious damage.
