OFI analysis

At the end of round 7 in Super League, OFI scored 12 goals and conceded 12 goals.

With 41.29% of ball possession averaged per game over the course of this league, OFI can hardly be said to be the kind of team that imposes its textures on the field. However,in the next match of the season against Panathinaikos they will have to come down with a whole different attitude on the pitch, and try to build more scoring chances.

One of the team's signings for the season still seems to be in a slow pace of adaptation. Ilias Chatzitheodoridis played another underwhelming game in the club's last appearance, against Panserraikos. He failed to show the expected security and did not help OFI to come out with the victory.

Panathinaikos analysis

After round 7 of Super League we count 6 goals scored by Panathinaikos and 6 conceded.

Diego López is another factor that can weigh in Panathinaikos favor in this match. One of the coaches that have attracted the most attention in this new generation of coaches adds several positive characteristics and has achieved good results.

Panathinaikos is currently struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they failed to score. This suggests that their attacking play needs to be improved, with a focus on creating better opportunities and converting them into goals.

As we approach the Regular Season, Panathinaikos is gearing up for another gripping match. In the opening game, the team managed 5 shots on target, offering a glimpse into their offensive capabilities.

Ball possession above 50% typically gives teams some control over their opponents. For this reason, the Panathinaikos team usually goes for an average ball possession of 60.43% to try to control the game.

The team has a relatively low scoring streak, the average goals scored does not exceed 0.86 per game, and this may mean that the result of the next away match may not be positive.

Increasingly prominent within the team, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, a defender who arrived for this season, did another fine performance in the last duel of the club. In the match against Olympiakos Piraeus, he was a fundamental piece, providing great security for the whole team and showing he is already fully adapted to the new club.

Best goalscorer from Panathinaikos

Individually, the team's most offensive player in the competition so far is Filip Đuričić. He has scored 3 times in the current season and has helped Panathinaikos come out with a positive result on several occasions.
