Title: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: alani123 on May 25, 2025, 01:50:20 PM In this thread we'll be discussing happenings for the 2025/2026 Greek Super League and Greek football in general on a national and international level.
The teams that were relegated are Lamia and Kallithea and the new teams in super league are Larisa and Kifissia which are clubs with a long history. Let's see what will happen in this season's Super league, Greek Cup, Europa and Conference League as well as any national team matches.

That makes it easier for the community to follow. you created that topic so you can edit the title to that of the new season and edit the OP with the relevant info. This is how I see it done for other topics of different league seasons.

Since the previous thread was regarding the previous year's league, OP should lock it and make a new one for the new season. As he will do. Changing the title every year and continuing the same thread will be more than an encyclopedia in terms of pages, posts, etc. Imagine a thread starting from a Championship back in 2001 until now. A megathread will be tiny! :D Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on May 25, 2025, 05:17:11 PM IMO, this is very wrong and frustrating and not easy at all to follow.

It's best to have a new, clean topic for each one, there's no use having a 20+ pages long thread for the upcoming league. Still too early to discuss the upcoming League, but kudos on you for starting the topic, hopefully, it'll be enriched soon enough. The previous League was entertaining, and I was excited to see OFI in the finals, while from a gambling perspective, it went great as well.Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: condoras on May 26, 2025, 02:44:33 PM Still too early to discuss the upcoming League, but kudos on you for starting the topic, hopefully, it'll be enriched soon enough. The previous League was entertaining, and I was excited to see OFI in the finals, while from a gambling perspective, it went great as well. No doubt that for OFI this year was very good and can be considered as fully successful. Even if it sounds more than hard, if they continue and stick to their plan, they can only gain good things and further successful years. We can start enriching the thread with the transfers for the new season. So, Olympiakos has already signed Remy Cabella from Lille and AEK has signed Dereck Kutesa from Servette. Cabella is a well-known virtuoso, a good addition but IMO the age can be an obstacle. Kutesa is a different story and it will be a challenge for him to be in a team like AEK. However, AEK needs a coach after the departure of Matias Almeyda. It will be interesting to see how all the teams that have international duties will move in this transfer window. With the current format, there isn't much time for rest. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 17, 2025, 10:46:27 AM It's been a while since the last reply and I decided to update the thread since the new season is starting in just a few days. What expectations do you have for this season and how do you think it'll progress? It's certainly too early to make assumptions, but just to have a general idea. I'm posting the upcoming matches to speculate the outcome of the following weekend.
Good luck to everyone! https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/08/17/USWRnq.jpeg https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/08/17/USWTvj.jpeg Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 21, 2025, 08:33:02 PM The first matches of the upcoming Greek Super League are starting in just a few days, from Sunday to Monday. The first match of the season is Aris vs. Volos, followed by Olympiakos vs. Asteras Tripolis and Panetolikos vs. Atromitos. I'm personally going to skip Olympiakos vs Asteras and bet on the other two for the first day, while the other two days we'll get to see the new teams of this season AE Kifissia and AE Larissa. AEL doesn't stand a chance against PAOK on Sunday, while AE Kifissia is going to be challenged against Levadiakos.

Taking a look at the upcoming matches for the first matchday I think the match with OFI is one of the more interesting ones. But seems to have been postponed because Panathinaikos is trying to qualify for europa league. Lol good luck with that, but they had a right to postpone one match and used it in the first possible occasion. I'll go for the second most interesting match to bet on for me. https://i.ibb.co/WWP147xN/image.png I think Aris is the easy pick for a win against Volos who has been barely hanging on the super league for so long. 1.67 seem pretty decent odds. Let's see how well prepared Aris will be or will Volos make a surprise debut? Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: MAAManda on August 22, 2025, 02:33:50 AM I think Aris is the easy pick for a win against Volos who has been barely hanging on the super league for so long. 1.67 seem pretty decent odds. Let's see how well prepared Aris will be or will Volos make a surprise debut? In the last season, Aris finished in fifth place, which shows their strength in the league even though they didn't make it to the championship round. On the other side, Volos is a lucky team because they're still playing in the Greek top league after finishing third in the relegation round. We see a clear difference between the two teams & therefore, I think the choice to choose Aris is the best, especially since the odds offered are also good. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: alani123 on August 22, 2025, 09:58:29 AM Well the championship round of the Greek super league is a tough story.
It was boring with 5 teams because the 5th was always a runner up. Instead of expanding it to give more variety and help smaller teams get stronger, they made it even smaller at 4 teams and now they're the only ones getting more benefits from TV rights and more matched between big old rivals. Honestly it has turned too much into a monopoly for Olympicos and if they're generous giving a title to another of the top 4 here and there. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: ajanwalker on August 22, 2025, 10:07:21 AM As someone who bets, I also follow Greek football. Yesterday, Panathinaikos and Samsunspor faced each other, and Pana won 2-1.
Pana's team and squad are at least two to three times better than Samsun's, and they have a very good squad. Samsun took the lead but still lost. The match in Samsun will also be played with a Pana victory. I live in Türkiye, but these facts must be accepted. Olympiacos will win the Greek league this year. I say this as someone who admires Olympiacos's manager.

Let's see how well prepared Aris will be or will Volos make a surprise debut? Well, it's been a long time since this thread was active, and finally, I see it bumping again. Let's see what this season will bring. 8) The Greek Superleague starts tomorrow, but honestly, none of them look interesting for betting on it. Since this is the opening round and also the odds for almost all the matches are low, I will stay out of betting. We might witness some surprises, so I won't risk it. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Volgastallion on August 22, 2025, 06:55:04 PM So posting here more like a watchtower than any other thing, because i just notice the last thread was locked and this new one is open.
Im gonna wait a little bit more before making some statements about this league and the teams i want to see something from them before doing something. Who is gonna be the biggest contender this year?

Im gonna wait a little bit more before making some statements about this league and the teams i want to see something from them before doing something. Who is gonna be the biggest contender this year? As in almost all the years. Olympiakos is the biggest favorite. Then we have Panathinaikos, AEK, and PAOK. However, things can change since the transfer window is still open. Panathinaikos today just made a very good transfer (on loan form), Renato Sanches from PSG. There are some rumours, though, that Panathinaikos put some clauses regarding Sanches' health since he is known for being easily injured. In any case, if he is healthy can be very important for them and make a difference.

Let's see what this season will bring. 8) It's about time the new season started, I was starting to get bored, with no matches to place bets on. As you've said, it's still the opening round and the matches can be quite unpredictable, especially at the start. I'll personally proceed with a few bets, even thought it's quite uncertain, I'm willing to take the risk.The Greek Superleague starts tomorrow, but honestly, none of them look interesting for betting on it.

It's quite annoying that in the Greek Super League, the teams you mentioned, from top to bottom, are those are the favorites of the Greek Football. I was pleasantly surprised to see OFI against Olympiakos in the previous league's finals, but the result was expected.Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: condoras on August 23, 2025, 03:57:28 PM It's quite annoying that in the Greek Super League, the teams you mentioned, from top to bottom, are those are the favorites of the Greek Football.

Unfortunately, the Greek Superleague suffers from this "Big-4" monotony and other things as well. Like foreign referees. :-[ In any case, even if I wouldn't bet since it's the 1st round, I predict Olympiakos and Aris to win (easy or hard) and a draw on the last game between Panaitolikos and Atromitos. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: alani123 on August 23, 2025, 06:37:04 PM I'm watching the Aris - Volos match and was surprised how BAD Aris was doing in the first half in spite of this being a home match for them.
The stadium was filled with their fans who were cheering all the way. Yet Aris finished the first half with lower possession and Volos taking more chances at a goal. But I guess after going back to the changing rooms they renowned their strategy against Volos with their coach and got back with the match being 2 - 0 now in the 69th minute. Good one for Aris. The bet was a success in case anyone took my suggestion :D That's unless there will be an epic turnaround ofc Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 23, 2025, 08:12:50 PM I'm watching the Aris - Volos match and was surprised how BAD Aris was doing in the first half in spite of this being a home match for them. Yeah, I was also taken aback, but in the end, they managed to deliver two goals, so not too bad I guess. Olympiakos of course won against Asteras Tripolis, I skipped this match because the odds were quite poor, and Panetolikos vs. Atromitos is still live, at half-time currently, with Atromitos scoring one goal in 41th minute. I'm having high hopes for this specific match, the odds are quite decent and hopefully, it'll be the first "major" win of the Greek Super League.The stadium was filled with their fans who were cheering all the way.

Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 23, 2025, 11:37:41 PM Managed to score my first major win with Atromitos vs. Panetolikos, with great odds. Initially, I wanted to bet over Panetolikos, but I ended up changing my mind in the last minute, fortunately for the better. We'll see how tomorrow goes, there are some interesting matches, but unfortunately OFI vs. Panathinaikos has been postponed and hasn't been announced yet. This match was a good headstart, I'm looking forward for the rest of the season.

It's always nice to start the gambling high season with a win and I'm sure that more will follow! 8) Today it seems that we will have another easy-going matchday for the favorites. AEK and PAOK will win with probably more than 2 goals, even if PAOK's attack seems dormant and has problems. I guess that Giakoumakis will make his 1st appearance, hopefully with a good scoring way.

I ultimately abstained from betting on today's matches, I was looking forward to OFI vs. Panathinaikos but it was postponed, AEK vs. Panserraikos didn't offer any significant odds, and I ultimately preferred to relax on the beach than be on the lookout for today's games.

AEK wins easily, but they have issues due to numerous injuries and the rehabilitation of players coming from them. As for PAOK, they need to find a way to be more clinical in front of the goal and not waste the chances that they have. They get the win this time, but if they don't fix their scoring rate soon, they will have a serious problem.

Yeah, not a big deal, it was the first weekend of the new Super League, plenty more will come and we have a long way to go and numerous opportunities to participate. PAOK seemed to struggle in the first half-term but managed to score their first goal in 47th minute of the game. For such a team, I'd expect a higher number of goals, they had quite a few failed attempts and had the possession of the ball for the majority of the game. Perhaps they're still "warming-up", this one match can't be used to criticize them just yet.Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: bias on August 27, 2025, 12:48:13 PM PAOK seemed to struggle in the first half-term but managed to score their first goal in 47th minute of the game.

It seems that this time, one goal was enough for PAOK to secure the win, but it won't be enough for the upcoming game against Rieka or the upcoming Superleague games. PAOK managed to secure an impressive transfer (Zafeiris from Slavia Prague), but sadly, he will join them during the winter transfer window and not now. IMO, they have to strengthen their squad even more, they are missing players in critical positions, and their rotation looks limited. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 29, 2025, 06:18:30 PM I had completely forgotten to update the thread with the upcoming matches that are starting tomorrow. There are a few interesting options, but as it's still early in the Super League, I'll only carefully place a few bets on specific matches that I still haven't made up my mind.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/08/29/UZ0nag.png I'm certainly participating on OFI vs. Panserraikos, firstly because it's my team and secondly, because the odds are quite decent, I'd also consider AEK vs. Panetolikos, the odds aren't anything special thought, and I also might take my chances with AEL vs. AE Kifissia, two new teams that we haven't seen perform in the new season. The odds are decent, so it's worth a try. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: bias on August 30, 2025, 02:18:38 PM I'm certainly participating on OFI vs. Panserraikos, firstly because it's my team and secondly, because the odds are quite decent, I'd also consider AEK vs. Panetolikos, the odds aren't anything special thought, and I also might take my chances with AEL vs. AE Kifissia, two new teams that we haven't seen perform in the new season.

Aris vs Panetolikos (more than 1.75 goals), Volos vs Olympiakos (more than 1.75 goals and a win for Olympiakos), and AEL vs Kifissia (more than 1.75 goals). Hopefully, this small parlay will give me my first Greek Superleague win for this season. Tomorrow is another story. I will wait until then to decide what and to which match/team I will bet.

I personally decided to skip Volos vs. Olympiakos, because the odds aren't that great, what odds does it have for more than 1.75 that you mentioned? Some matches are not worth the risk, or the reward is too insignificant to bother, in comparison with the risk involved. Olympiakos vs. Volos is starting in a few minutes, while OFI vs. Panserraikos in half an hour. Hopefully OFI wins and we have a double win, me with the betting and my team winning! ;DI'll also take part in Aris vs. Panetolikos, even though I'm not too sure about it.

The win of Olympiakos with a 2 goal difference gave 1.60, and adding the above, my total odds go to ~3.90. So far, only Olympiakos bet passes. Aris still hasn't scored, and AEL with Kifissia are still goalless. Hopefully, will see a better second half in both games and with goals.🤑 Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 30, 2025, 07:11:26 PM The win of Olympiakos with a 2 goal difference gave 1.60, and adding the above, my total odds go to ~3.90.

I'm also waiting on AE Kifissia vs AEL and Aris vs. Panetolikos. I don't have high hopes for either of the two matches, which is the main reason why I only placed two small bets of $10 each.

To be honest, since the 1st half of both games was goalless, I didn't expect to win today's parlay. But Panaitolikos proved me wrong and took the win against Aris with 2 goals, with the 2nd being absolutely magnificent! Now, AEL and Kifissia are on 1-1 with 10 mins to go.

I personally lost AEL vs. Kifissia, but it's not a big deal since it was only $10, but I won with over 2 goals on Aris vs. Panetolikos. To be honest, I was surprised to see Aris lose, as it's a team that's usually in the top, after the big four (Olympiakos, PAOK, AEK, and Panathinaikos), and I can't understand how they lost. They had the ball's possession for most of the time, more shot attempts, more passes, and better pass accuracy. How could the outcome be such a disaster for Aris?Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: bias on August 31, 2025, 06:19:15 PM Yeah, I didn't expect much either.

As long as my parlay passes, honestly, I don't care which teams win.😂 Seriously now, I believe that even if Aris had better statistics, they lack quality in their final attempt and clinical finish. Something that Panaitolikos had, and with 2-3 shots on target, scored two goals. Btw, the same parlay I put for today's matches, with some small adjustments for better odds.😉 Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Ultegra134 on August 31, 2025, 06:37:10 PM As long as my parlay passes, honestly, I don't care which teams win.😂 I was away from home today and didn't bother with today's matches, I also remember the odds being quite mediocre, so I preferred to skip today's matchday. So far, AEK has scored one goal against Asteras Tripolis and PAOK vs. Atromitos is goalless, but with plenty of time left. From how I see things, AEK is going to win and is likely to score one more goal, while PAOK is going to score after the first half-term, winning the match against Atromitos. Also, Panathinaikos vs. Levadiakos is to start within the next half hour, and I'd expect Panathinaikos to score at least two goals.Seriously now, I believe that even if Aris had better statistics, they lack quality in their final attempt and clinical finish. Something that Panaitolikos had, and with 2-3 shots on target, scored two goals. Btw, the same parlay I put for today's matches, with some small adjustments for better odds.😉 Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: bias on August 31, 2025, 08:19:46 PM I was away from home today and didn't bother with today's matches, I also remember the odds being quite mediocre, so I preferred to skip today's matchday.

Today's parlay goes to the garbage from the 1st match between AEK and Asteras. Even if I get it and AEK scores more than one or Asteras manages to score, PAOK also stays at 1-0 against Atromitos. So, my interest in the Panathinaikos match is zero. Time to see a movie...😁🍿 Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: condoras on August 31, 2025, 08:39:45 PM I was away from home today and didn't bother with today's matches, I also remember the odds being quite mediocre, so I preferred to skip today's matchday.

It seems that we made the right choice and we didn't bother. However, from the next round, I'm hoping things will be different and the odds will be more tempting to bother with Superleague.

To be honest, I'm quite used to the Greek Super League's unbalanced matches. Some days are simply not worth it, and today was one of those. PAOK and AEK of course won, and although there are no guarantees when it comes to football, it's very unlikely for the opposite to happen. Panathinaikos is also winning against Levadiakos with one goal, with their match ending in just a few minutes. Hopefully, the next weekend will be more interesting, because this one was a disappointment, except for one or two matches on Saturday.Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: condoras on September 01, 2025, 01:28:48 PM To be honest, I'm quite used to the Greek Super League's unbalanced matches.

Even if Panathinaikos had more chances and led by one, they didn't manage to take the win. Unfortunately for Panathinaikos, Verbic (en ex player of theirs) had a different opinion about how the game would end and scored a great goal at 86-87 minute, giving Levadiakos a very big point. So, yes, this round didn't have so much excitement or good odds, but it had some surprises and shows that this season will probably see more competition.

Wow, I shut everything off when I made the post, before Verbic scored the goal, and took for granted that Panathinaikos won the match. I am not seeing that it ended in tie, I hadn't realized that hey ultimately didn't win. This is a great loss from Panathinaikos, not only did they stall throughout the game, but also lost at the very last minute. That's a huge surprise from both teams, good job on Levadiakos for preventing Panathinako's win. Good thing I didn't place any bets, because that's something I would never have predicted.Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: alani123 on September 01, 2025, 06:47:18 PM This matchday was totally disappointing... I was out of town and didn't have time to look at the matches live or bet on anything but in the end I'm thankful.
Panathinaikos already proves to be very lacking by losing to a team like levadeiakos. Surely this sets the stage for another super league taken by Olympiakos unless things change dramatically. But I don't think Panathinaikos will make the surprise this year either. We've gotten used of hopes being shattered early on with this team hehe Anyway. I looked at the drawings Greek teams had in international competition: Here's Olympiakos: https://www.olympiacos.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/28/Opponents-Site.jpg Notice also the Cypriot team Paphos made it to the Champions League and is in the same draw also. This is rare for Cypriot teams. This is almost hilarious. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen and Ajax. Could it have been any worse? I mean yeah it's champion's league afterall but never in my lifetime do I remember a Greek team maching with so many high ranking teams. At least we can see some quality teams playing in Greece for once ey? Things are a little more palatable for Panathinaikos and PAOK in the Europa league https://i.ibb.co/rK0vgtMg/image.png https://i.ibb.co/dJQzc3Qz/image.png AEK is in the Coonference League this year but things look extremely tough for them: https://i.ibb.co/ZRmGyBKZ/image.png Fiorentina, Shamrock, Aberdeen and Samsunspor are all well acclaimed teams that I think AEK would have an extremely hard time competing against. Also Cypriot team Omonoia made it to the Conference league. Cypriot AEK Larnaka also in there https://i.ibb.co/n8rwsxvy/image.png https://i.ibb.co/dJkTXgQB/image.png Of all these Greek and Cypriot teams in European competitions this year I think realistically speaking only PAOK has some decent chances to win more matches and potentially advance. Panathinaikos is not in great form again so I'm not very hopeful. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Black Mbaye on September 01, 2025, 07:08:44 PM I look at the Greek league, and Olympiacos, AEK, and PAOK stand out as teams that win all their matches. These are teams that can also achieve good results in Europe. I also know Panathinaikos from the Greek league; they've only played one match. This year, it's a league I'll be following and watching the results. It's great to have a topic of discussion here; we often discuss the Greek league here.
Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: alani123 on September 03, 2025, 09:44:42 AM I'm doing my best to also include Cypriot teams here because Cyprus is like a sister country to Greece, the only place in the world where Greek is also an official language.
A tiny country but these years their teams are entering in international competition more and more. Cyprus hadn't been in Champions league for 8 years which is nice to see again now. Title: Re: Greek Football 2025-2026 Season Discussion and Predictions Post by: Abbatty on September 03, 2025, 10:32:39 AM After match day 2 only 2 teams have managed to pick all maximum point from the Greek league this season, and I would say there are the teams everybody is expecting. Olympiacos, PAOK and AEK Athens all win their 1 matches so far, as for me this are the teams I expect to challenge for the title this season.
The match between Olympiacos and Volos got me a bit off my seat because I gambled on Olympiacos to score 2 goals and to my surprise the goals came in late. I thought I would lost my bet but i didn’t. My favorite team to win the league this season is Olympiacos, you can always count on them.

Perhaps, I'd also consider Asteras Tripolis vs. AEL.You are assuming and that is not a good one when it comes to football even though Olympiakos will be playing at home we should not assume the results just like that, because looking at the performance of Olympiakos in recent times they have not been that fantastic like before. What do you mean? Olympiakos won the previous League and is literally the top team in the Greek Football. It's very unlikely they'll lose against Panserraikos, but possible nonetheless.

The odds show that Greece is most likely going to win, the case here is how we can profit from it, as just betting on Greece for a mere 1.20 is not worth the risk. I was considering over 2.5 goals (1.67) or both teams to score (2.60), or over 1.5 goals in total in the first half (2.35).

I'm assuming the most logical outcome, based on both teams' dynamics, roster, and recent performance/ results. Unfortunately, in the Greek Superleague, besides the Big-4, all the others faced tremendous problems and no support from the football federation.

The odds for each taking a win are exactly the same so in the end it just feels like Greece is considered equally powerful. Surely the new Greek squad is young and their coach is willing to innovate snd adapt the team's style to opponents. It's proving a good endeavour as Greece is doing well again on international matches after a long time. Now against Denmark I'm not sure. It'll be a good match to watch.

The game against Belarus was quite different, just like you said, they aren't as competitive as Denmark, so the risk wasn't as great as it currently is. We still have over one hour till the game starts, I might change my mind till then and choose something safer. Otherwise, I'm also considering to bet on both teams to score.

Luckily, I didn't bet on first-half over 1.5 goals like I mentioned earlier, but over 2 in total, in which the odds weren't anything special, but I at least didn't lose any money.

Like surely the renowned Greek national team is a breath of fresh air but we have to be realists. We can't expect the team to perform miracles while they're still developing their strategy. The players are young and still the coach is experiementing. We can't expect too much for just having won against belarus. Now a second place in the group is realistic and achievable. To win against Scotland is also attainable. Although they tied against Denmark. It's still possible for Greece to make it to the play offs. We have to expect realistic goals and not too much just because of this great win otherwise the team fails in its strategy.
