Atromitos (home)
- Dušan Kerkez, by contrast, sets up a compact 4-2-3-1 with the capability to play a pragmatic, frustrating game.
- They have had their ups and downs in the Super League, losing 4-1 to AEK and 2-0 at Olympiacos, but beating Volos 3-0 and shocking PAOK with a 2-0 home victory.
- Atromitos are a well-disciplined side that defend with a low or mid block, but can hurt you with their pace on the counter.
- Denzel Jubitana and Makana Baku are the most direct threats to Panathinaikos’ defense.
- Samuel Moutoussamy and Dimitrios Stavropoulos keep the game organized in midfield and defense, respectively.
Panathinaikos (away)
- Panathinaikos’s form has been patchy in 2025-26, with wins over Aris (Cup) and Panserraikos and a victory against Volos offset by two heavy defeats.
- Rafa Benítez’s team have more Champions League pedigree and a more talented squad, but have been under the spotlight due to their poor results.
- The 4-0 drubbing at AEK and the 2-0 defeat at PAOK suggest there is work to do at the club.
- The likes of Filip Đuričić and Renato Sanches provide the creativity and energy to unlock defenses and supply Karol Świderski, Mateus Tetê and Anass Zaroury, who are key attacking figures for Panathinaikos.
Head-to-Head
- Panathinaikos have won four and drawn two of the last six meetings in the Super League and Greek Cup.
