Panathinaikos
- Panathinaikos are the clear favorites for Sunday’s early afternoon Super League matchup at Leoforos with Volos NFC available at 9.75 and the draw at 4.85.
- The oddsmakers may be right to favour Panathinaikos, who have enough quality and the pedigree of a club with a long history and Champions League experience, but the value certainly looks like it’s on the away side. For those interested in this fixture, our Panathinaikos vs Volos NFC betting tips highlight the risk and value in backing the underdog.
- Rafael Benítez’s men are 6th in the Super League table with 19 points, one point behind Volos, who are 5th with 22 points.
- Benítez has imposed a structure on the Athens giants since arriving in October, with his team capable of patient, possession-based play when needed, but also quick, incisive attacks when on the counter-attack.
- The Spaniard’s teams are always solid in defence and have a reputation for exploiting set pieces, so we can expect a clinical, system-first approach to the game that Volos will need to be on the ball to break through.
Volos NFC
- Volos’ overall form is better than Panathinaikos in the last five competitive matches: Volos are unbeaten in four of their last five, while Panathinaikos have three wins and two losses.
- They ground out narrow wins over Atromitos and OFI then held Kifisia to a draw.
- The 1-0 win against Panathinaikos is still fresh in the memory and there is no reason to believe Juan Ferrando’s side cannot take something from this clash. This Panathinaikos vs Volos NFC betting tips section suggests Volos are strong contenders for another surprise.
- Ferrando’s men are more possession-based and set up in a compact shape with a high midblock, disciplined pressing and a knack of breaking out in transition with quick, wide overloads.
- Volos are a small club and a recent Super League entrant, punching above their weight every time they take the field.

Volos NFC
- Saïd Hamulić is the main goal threat for Volos.
