Panathinaikos enter this derby determined to build on their solid start to the season. They have looked disciplined at the back and sharp in attack, often dictating games through midfield control. At times, however, they have struggled with finishing, which has cost them in tight fixtures.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, have started the season strongly, displaying their usual attacking power and experience in big matches. They have been consistent in front of goal and rarely give opponents much room to exploit defensively. Their depth across the squad makes them dangerous in matches like this, where small margins decide the outcome.

Olympiacos have also shown solid away form. In their last away fixtures this season, they have looked confident, scoring goals and controlling possession against difficult opponents. Their experience in handling pressure on the road will be crucial in a high-stakes derby atmosphere.
