Iraklis v Larisa
Verdict: Iraklis has started well in the league with another good result last weekend when they managed a late equalizer away to Atromitos. Coach Ouzounidis will be without creative midfielder Karim Soltani who has been in great form and played part in both results from the first two rounds. He assisted in the opening goal against Olympiakos in round 1 and scored the late equalizer against Atromito in the round 2.
Larisa so far has not been very convincing at taking their chances in front of goal so there is no doubt that this game will come down to which keeper plays best as both teams have two outstanding keepers between the sticks. Eleftheropoulos and Viera will both be looking to keep clean sheets but maybe the fans at Kaftantzogleio will play the 12th man role well enough to see their team take full points.
Pick: Iraklis 1x2 @2.75 (pinnacle, 7 units)
Iraklis 1 - 0 Larisa

PAOK v Olympiakos Volou
Verdict: Paok were hoping that their number one goalscorer Muslimovic might be ready for the upcoming match against Olympiakos Volou but it seems the striker is still doubtful and coach Dermitzakis will probably prefer resting his man against a newly promoted side. That, plus the home advantage should be plenty to see Paok take full points even after a mid week Europa match that saw them take a draw away at Club Brugge in Belgium. Defender Malezas will be hoping he can have the same affect as he did mid week with his headed goal that awarded Paok the draw.
Olympiakos Volou in the meantime has a full squad to travel to Toumba with and will hope that they can replicate the result they managed in the opening round where they managed to take full points away from Panionio.
Pick: PAOK -1.25AH @1.94 (188bet, 5 units)
PAOK 1 - 1 Olympiacos Volos
AEK v Asteras Tripolis
Verdict: AEK is another side who had a mid week Europa game to deal with though they were saved the travel as they faced Hajduk Split at home and got off to a flying start with a 3-1 win. Djebbour so far has been in great form after scoring the opener in the Europa match (but also missing a penalty soon after) and is equal early top scorer in the league with 2 goals alongside Panserraikos Nikola Beljic. AEK has the firepower to do the damage going forward so long as they can break down Asteras defence. Asteras has a few problems going into this weeks match though with many injured including Orozco, Arrache, Tsoumagka, Roberto, Carrera and Pulido all doubtful plus without striker Shikoze Udoji who was sent off in the prior match against Paok after receiving two yellow cards in the space of a minute.
Pick: AEK -1.25AH @1.98 (188bet, 7 units)
AEK 2 - 2 Asteras Tripolis
