Saturday, 20th December
Panserraikos - PAOK

Summary: Panserraikos host PAOK on Saturday in Serres where the home team has not managed a single win yet. Sitting deep in relegation, in 15th spot, Panserraikos will have to start turning their home advantage to better use if they are to have any chance of survival this season. PAOK in the meantime got a tough win at home last weekend defeating Xanthi 1-0 and closing the gap between them and league leaders Olympiakos to 4 points. For Panserraikos midfielder Cyril Kali and striker Sambegou Bangoura were both doubtful for the match but have been named in Hugo Boos side for the match. PAOK will once more be without striker Zlatan Muslimovic and will also be without suspended midfielder Pablo Garcia.

Pick: PAOK to Win (possible result 0-2)
Panserraiokos 1 - 1 PAOK

Panionios - Asteras Tripolis

Summary: Panionios managed a good result away to bottom of the table Thrasyvoulos last weekend with a 3-1 away victory. Asteras Tripolis reminded us once more that they are not in the same spirit as last season being defeated by Iraklis 2-1 at home. Asteras will want to take something from Saturdays match if they want to continue staying clear of relegation. Panionios will be without Alvaro Recoba and Lambros Choutos for the home game and will also miss late injury German defender Matthias Langkamp. Asteras will have a full squad for the away match with defender Mauro Milano returning to the squad.

Pick: Panionios to Win (possible result 2-1)
Panionios 3 - 0 Asteras Tripolis
