Panathinaikos and Panaitolikos come into this match with identical season records — 3 wins from 3, 8 scored and 2 conceded versus 7 scored and 1 conceded — but the most striking number is their most recent meeting, which ended 0-0 even though Panathinaikos had 59.2% possession and averaged 7.3 shots on target per game over their last 10, while Panaitolikos had just 48.4% possession and 4.1 shots on target per game. This game therefore shapes up as the hosts holding the ball and attacking against a visiting side that sits deep and waits to counter, but Panathinaikos have also just won by 2 goals or more in 3 of their last 5 (2-0, 3-1, 3-1), which is something you have to admit is still possible. Panaitolikos, meanwhile, have lost by 2 goals or more just 1 of their last 5 (2-4) and concede 25% of their goals in the 31-45 minute window. Panaitolikos's data is clearly thinner than their opponents' — the 4.78 shots on target faced per game figure comes from just 9 matches and there is no confirmed team news — but the system's angle still rests on a pattern of play in which the visitors rarely get blown away, and the hosts themselves have scorelines showing they do not blow away every opponent.
