Panserraikos - Veria

Greece - Super League 2, Group A, Round 22

Panserraikos played a risky game in Nea Efkarpia, but luckily, they did not get burnt, and won 1-0 with an own goal in the 94th minute. In general, Panserraikos' recent performance has been poor, but they have managed to maintain their lead for winning the title with the experience of their football players. Although Panserraikos was in control of the game, they missed chances earlier on when Bairovic failed to convert a penalty in the 13th minute. In the 37th minute, they missed another good chance with Stina, and a minute before halftime, Said's goal was wrongly disallowed for offside. In the second half, they had some important moments with Bairović (52'), Stina (63'), Katsantonis (88'), and Papazoglou (92'). They finally redeemed themselves in the 94th minute with an own goal. Panserraikos still holds a +9 lead over AEL and has their fate in their own hands.

Match news: There is one addition and one subtraction to Pavlos Dermitzakis' squad for the upcoming match. Kanis, who has recovered, is available again, while Karasalidis, who was declared to serve his sentence, will not be counted. Ali Baba, Dimitriou, Anakoglou, Giannikoglou, Oikonomou, Natsos, Karaperis, and Papavasileiou are all out of the picture.

Clearly, Panserraikos deserved the victory and is very reliable at home, especially defensively. Veria will have to do a lot to get results, and it will be hard to find goals. I expect a low-scoring game, but in favor of Panserraikos.
