Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012

Event	AEK - Olympiakos Piraeus
Selection	Over 2,5
Strength	10/10
Date	15/10/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.18
Reasoning	AEK changed his coach. Manolo Jimenez was dismissed and now AEK will debut Nikos Kostenoglou in the bench. Like this AEK will appear with new blood and will be more motivated to play this Greek derby against his eternal rival. But the moment of AEK is very problematic. The players are without receiving their salary over months. But in this kind of derbies, i believe that AEK players will forget all their problems and will fight with all they have to revenge the last season humiliation of 0-6 against this same Olympiakos. This will be like a final for the hosts. Olympiakos is the best Greek team and they want to show their superiority in this kind of games defeating the eternal rivals. They have a tremendous offensive power and they face a AEK with lots of defensive problems. I believe they will put the hosts under lots of problems, creating many chances. Olympiakos should win this game but they can also count with a fighting AEK. Goals should happen for both sides and the odd for Over 2,5 goals attracts me.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 XANTI-PANATHINAIKOS PICK:UNDER 2.5 ODDS:1.68 BET365 Greek Superleague,Fixture 6 Stadium Xanthi,Capacity 7.422 Xanthi absences:vallas(injured) Panathinaikos absences:rudolf,toche,ninis,kotsolis,karnezis, christodoulopoulos,seitaridis(injured) Xanti continues to give difficult games from the start of the season with good performances,collecting 4 points so far but with some luck could had more. In the last game took an away draw from aris with 0-0 in a match that was better,had some chances but couldnt score to made a big win. Now has another difficult game against pao and wants to continue the good performance and to take a good result. Panathinaikos has to play since 17 september and that maybe a problem because the players have lost their rhythm. Also for this match pao has many absencces,will play with the 3rd regular attacker and the 3rd regular goalkeeper and at the midfield missing the players who can create chances. Ferreira,coach of the visitors knows the difficulties of this match and probably would play with more cautious at the defence in order to take a positive result. This is a very difficult game to predict the winner,but some factors lead in the conclusion that will be a close game with defensive mentality from both teams,hosts because know that if they concede goal will be difficult to take a good result and the visitors who are coming from a lot time without official game and without 2 attackers will find it difficult to win if concede a goal. All in all is a very difficult game to predict but for the above reasons we are going to risk that will end with few goals and give us the under with fair odds.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ERGOTELIS-ARIS PICK:ARIS+0 ODDS:2.35 BET365 Greek Superleague,Fixture 6 Stadium Pankritio,Capacity 26.240 Ergotelis absemces:none Aris absences:toja,cesarec,sifakis,garcia(injured) castillo,soltani(banned) Ergotelis is coming from 3 consecutive losses and some criticism started especially from the last loss from ofi with not a good performance and now the team wants a win to bring calm,to increase the morale and to take important points to climb a little at the league table. Aris also is coming from a home draw against xanthi and made a bad start with only 2 points in 3 matches and without scoring any goal yet and this situation led the coach of the team,tsiolis to suggest a fine for him and for his players and the fans to made a protest against them. For this crucial game aris has a lot missings of important players but as coach said there is no space for excusses and the good result is necessary. Another reason for the visitors to fight hard for the win is the nexts week big local derby against paok in which the team wants to go with high morale. Pankritio isnt the stadium which can call it hot and to give a big advantage at ergotelis,the two teams need desperate the good result,but although aris has some missings we are going to give an edge at the visitors as remains a quality team and we think is capable to win this match or at least not to lose and we bet on this.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ASTERAS TRIPOLIS-XANTHI PICK:XANTHI+0 ODDS:1.91 WILLIAM HILL Greece Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium Asteras Tripolis,Capacity 6.430 Astera Tripolis absences:ladakis,solakis,matusiak,kostoulas, bakasetas,kerr(injured) Xanthi absences:vallas,darbion(injured) Finally asteras will play again after 1 month because his schedule was against the 2 teams that remain unknown. Meanwhile the team passed another adventure,the court decided to relegate asteras but the desicion changed at the appeal of the team. Now after these circumstances and with the assistant coach at the bench for another game, the team prepared for this crucial game with only target the win because after 4 games has only 2 points and the good result looks necessary. The positive from this break is the return of some players that were injured but also the addition of 3 good players such are solakis,breska and alvarez,all former players of olympiacos volou. Xanthi finished the very difficult programme that had against almost all the top level teams with good performances but for different reasons without collecting enough points and now with easier at the paper teams has to start to make wins. It will be a interesting game because both teams need the win,the home team remains a question mark with the new additions and the long break but we think xanthi is more ready for this match,in better condition and quality and we are going to risk that at least won't lose at tripoli as did the last 4 times at this stadium against asteras with 3 goalless draws and 1 win.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ATROMITOS-GIANNINA PICK:ATROMITOS ODDS:1.88 PINNACLE Greece Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium Peristeri,Capacity 10.200 Atromitos absences:none Giannina absences:fegrouche,dasios,patsatzoglou,michail(injured) Atromitos is coming from another away draw with 2-2 against kerkyra and remained undefeated in the first 6 games of the season,shows that has a quality squad but if wants to confirm the high expectations has to win games like the upcoming against giannina. The positive is that for another one game the team hasn't any problem and coach donis can pick the best eleven. Giannina also coming from a draw at home against panionios but considered as a lost chance because the opponent played with player less for more than an entire half and giannina could not threat the visitors goalkeeper with many chances. For this game again some important missings concerns demol the coach of visitors. The samples of two teams so far show that although the newcomers make a very well start,atromitos is more quality team and at home in which looks even stronger is capable to take the win as did the last 3 times against giannina.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 PANIONIOS-OLYMPIACOS PICK:OLYMPIACOS ODDS:1.60 PINNACLE Greek Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium Nea Smyrni,Capacity 11.700 Panionios absences:omo(banned),milovanovic(injured) Olympiacos absences:fuster,fejsa,torosidis,yeste(injured) modesto(banned) Panionios is coming from an away draw against giannina in a game that played for 50 minutes with player less but with good tactic not threatened a lot and if was more lucky could take the win with a good chance in last minutes. The team so far although the financial and admins problems shows a very good face and the main target of a middle table place is very realistic. Olympiacos made a great performance and a big win for the champions league against dortmund with 3-1,a big result for the team for many reasons. First the important points who give hopes for something better in the group,second that with this performance left behind the criticism after the bad game against aek and last the big boost in the morale of the players for the difficult upcoming matches. Now has to concetrate in the greek league and panionios because after last weeks draw can afford to make another failure. Despite the many missings with injuries,olympiacos has a big squad and some good solutions enough capable to replace the absences. This is a tricky game for olympiacos but coach valverde seems to know that better and won't let his players to be relaxed,so with the quality difference between the 2 teams and the good condition and the good morale we think that olympiacos will make an important win at nea smyrni with also an ally the recent history which says that the visitors have 7 wins and 2 draws with 6-19 goals in this stadium and we are going to bet on this.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ARIS-PAOK PICK:ARIS+0 ODDS:1.88 LADBROKES Greek Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium Vikelidis,Capacity 22.800 Aris absences:sifakis,garcia,vranjes,soltani(injured) Paok absences:lino,athanasiadis,fotakis,garcia, tsoukalas(injured),balafas doubtfull Aris for another one game didnt win and after 4 matches has only 3 points and only 1 goal scored and the criticism continues. In the last game was very unlucky to concede a goal in the last minute of stoppage time but also uncapable to score in some chances to increase the lead and finally took a draw with 1-1 at crete against ergotelis. Now everyone around the team has to leave behind all that because the big local derby match against paok is ahead and is the nost important game of the year for the team but also for the fans and the good result is more than necessary. Aris will has 2 good returns of castillo and toja who were banned and coach tsiolis who knows thta with a bad result maybe will leave from the team has enough choices to fix a good first eleven. Paok after 2 bad results and performances against olympiacos and ofi,made a difficult win for the europa league against shamrock rovers at toumba with 2-1 but again didnt impress at all. For this crucial match the visitors will have many important missings with injuries and will be very difficult for boloni to select a strong team. Also another problem is the the fatigue of the players from the continuing games and we dont know the condition of them for his big match. This will be the most interesting match of the round,both teams need the win for many reasons but in front of their hot fans,hosts looks in bigger need and ready to take the advantage of the situation of paok and to make a big important win for the points,the morale andthe prestige. In last 8 games at vikelidis,aris has 3 wins,4 draws and only 1 loss against paok and with that as ally we are going to bet on home victory or at least not to lose

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 PANATHINAIKOS-ERGOTELIS PICK:PANATHINAIKOS ODDS:1.38 PINNACLE Greek Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium OAKA,Capacity 69.618 Panathinaikos absences:kotsolis,petropoulos,toche, rudolf(injured) Ergotelis absences:none Pao is coming from an away win at xanthi with 2-3 despite for this match played without a regular striker and stands at the top of the league with 10 points in 4 games. After the summer problems and the exclusion from the european leagues the team looks very concetrate at the only big target that remains for this season and without midweek games has the time to be prepared for every league match. Now for another game will be without striker but leto showed that can play well in this position with the 2 goals that scored last week. Pao need this win to remain at the top because after this match follow 3 very diffivult games with the main contenders for the title this year,paok,aek and olympiacos so would like to go for these matches with high morale and at the top of the league. Ergotelis is coming from a home draw against aris with a goal scored in the last minute of the stoppage time and for this ,considered as a good result. Ergotelis came from 3 losses and a draw with not so good performances and wants points to climb up at the league table but against pao will be difficult to take something. The positive for coach karageorgiou is that hasnt any problem of missing. As we said before for pao follows a difficult programme,plays at home with high morale from past results and is better team than ergotelis and difficult or easy we can see a home win and we are bet on this.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 OFI-AEK PICK:AEK+0 ODDS:1.45 SPORTINGBET Greek Superleague,Fixture 7 Stadium Th.Vardinogiannis,Capacity 8.500 Ofi absences:none Aek absences:konstantopoulos,gudjohnsen,georgeas(injured) makos(banned) Ofiis coming from a good result,ana away draw at toumba against paok with 0-0 in a game that played with very defensive tactic and despite the superiority of the opponent succeeded to take the point. Now at home in another difficult game ofi wants to continue the good results,will play without injuries and with the push of the hot fans of the team will try to make a big win. Aek after the change of coach showed a lot of improvement against olympiacos and lokomotiv. The team had passion and willingness and a better tactic but didnt win neither. Now although the visitors had a big trip and maybe will be a little tired,want to make an away win in order to stay high at the table and to increase even more the morale for the upcoming difficult games with aris and panathinaikos. It will be a very interesting and tough game,ofi will has the home advantage but we rate aek as a more quality team and the signs of the last 2 games with kostenoglou at the bench showed that the visitors are capable to win this match or at least not to lose it and we are going to risk on that. (very good recent history for aek at crete with 4 wins and 2 draws at last 6 matches).

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 OLYMPIACOS-OFI PICK:OLYMPIACOS ODDS:1.20 BET365 Greek Superleague,Fixture 8 Stadium Karaiskakis,Capacity 33.334 Olympiacos absences:yeste,fuster,fejsa(injured) torosidis(doubtfull) Ofi absences:bourbos,vando,charitonidis(injured) chumbinho,katai(loan from olympiacos) Olympiacos is coming from another very good performance and an away win against panionios with 0-3 and showed that finally find a good rhythm and looks ready to confirm the quality difference from the other greek teams. Now in front of their fans,players want to give another show and to make another win for the points but also to increase even more the morale for the difficult upcoming games against dortmund for the champions league and aris,panathinaikos for the greek league. Ofi is coming from a great performance and a home win against aek with 3-1 in a match that the team showed that is capable for better things. Ofi will be without some important players because of injuries but the big blow is the missing of chumbinho,the best maybe player of the team who plays at ofi with loan from olympiacos and cant play against his team. The two teams seem to have good relationships lately and at the bench of the visitors will be a legend for olympiacos,coach anastopoulos,one of the best players and goal scorers of the past. The recent performances of olympiacos dont leave spaces for a surprise in this match,especially at karaiskakis but the upcoming crucial game for the champions league and good relationships between the two teams wont let us to bet that olympiacos will win with big margin. All in all we believe that olympiacos will make another win one way or another,but the odds dont represent any value and we give our estimation only because we want to make analysis for every game of the greek superleague. (great recent history for olympiacos at home with 5 wins at 5 games and 19-4 goals).

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 PANETOLIKOS-XANTHI PICK:XANTHI+0.25 ODDS:1.79 PINNACLE Greek Superleague,Fixture 8 Stadium Panetolikos,Capacity 7.500 Panetolikos absences:karamalikis,babaniotis,zeris,seye, mezaque,dentsas,pappas(injured) Xanthi absences:stathakis(injured) Panetolikos will play again after almost a month and it will be a problem for the players who lost a rhythm. The newcomers so far have 7 points in 5 games and are coming from an away loss from atromitos with 2-1. For this match the hosts have many missings who make the job of the coach tennes more difficult in a game that need to win to return in positive results. Xanthi is coming from an away draw with 1-1 against asteras in a match that in the first half the hosts had some good chances but in the last 15 minutes of the match xanthi had 2 very big chances to take the win. After 7 games the visitors has only 5 points but they had a very difficult programme,played well is some matches but were unlucky to collect more points. Now in another away difficult match xanthi looking for a win to climb up in the table and the positive is that the team has not serious problems and coach ouzounidis can bring the best possible team. Panetolikos is a good enough team but with some important missings and without a game for almost a month will find it difficult against maybe a more quality,more experienced and in better condition team and we are going to risk that the visitors can make an important away win or at least not to lose this encounter.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 XANTHI-KERKYRA PICK:XANTHI ODDS:1.83 BWIN Greek Superleague,Fixture 9 Stadium Xanthi,Capacity 7.422 Xanthi absences:stathakis(injured),edimar(banned) Kerkyra absences:kalantzis,michos,tsigas(injured) Xanthi is coming from an away loss against panetolikos with 2-0 with a bad performance and now the team remains 4 games without a win and has only 1 win in 8 games so far,a bad collection and the win against kerkyra looks necessary. Xanthi in the first 6 games had a very difficult programme and despite the bad results played good football but in the last 2 against similar level teams didnt play well and some criticism started in the team and the next game at home against one of the weakest teams of the league is an opportunity to make a good performance and to make an important win to break the bad run and to increase the morale for the next matches and another failure will bring big problems in the team. Kerkyra has to play since 15 october and maybe will be a negative factor for the team who showed big willingness and passion in the last home game against atromitos and big improvement with a draw 2-2 and the break will be a problem in the rhythm of the team. Kerkyra so far has only 2 points in 6 games and looks in very difficult place and need points to climb up in the table but with the previous performances of the team not convincing that is capable to make something good in this away match. All in all the two teams are coming from bad results but we rate xanthi as a better team,more ready for this match and in front of their fans capable to make an important win and we are going to bet on this.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 PANIONIOS-OFI PICK:UNDER 2.5 ODDS:1.55 INTERWETTEN Greek Superleague,Fixture 9 Stadium Nea Smyrni,Capacity 11.700 Panionios absences:omo,riera,estoyanoff,jonsson(injured) Ofi absences:bodor,souza,bourbos,pitsos, vando,charitonidis(injured) Panionios is coming from an away loss with 2-1 from atromitos without a good performance and although took the lead in 65th minute lost the game after conceded 2 goals in 5 minutes and now the team remains without win in the last 4 matches. Panionios seems to be out of form and has to win this match to stop this bad run and to collect important points to climb p in the table but for this game coach lemonis has to face some important missings and it will be difficult to replace them. Also another problem is the financial problems of the team who led the big star of the team,estoyanoff to request transfer. Ofi at the other side looks in great condition and with high morale because after the big win at home against aek with 3-1 came another great result,an away draw at karaiskakis against olympiacos with 2-2 in a match that until the 70th minute seemed to be lost with 2-0 score but in 5 minutes scored 2 goals and escaped with a great result. Now with high morale the team wants to continue like that but coach anastopoulos knows that his players have to be concetrated and to keep their minds focused. It will be an interesting match between two teams with the similar level and target and between twio good greek coaches who know that the key factor for the positive result will be the defense and we think will be a close game and we risk on that. Another factor who lead us to bet on under is the missings of the two important creative players of panionios,riera and estoyanoff and also the condition of the top goalscorer of ofi,mantzios who is doubtfull for this game after his injury and even if he plays will be a question mark his condition. After all these the logical bet seems to be the under but with small odds.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ASTERAS TRIPOLIS-PAOK PICK:PAOK ODDS:2.00 LADBROKES Greek Superleague,Fixture 9 Stadium Asteras Tripolis,Capacity 6.430 Asteras Tripolis absences:argyropoulos,matusiak,solakis, ladakis,orozco,rubil(injured) Paok absences:garcia,athnasiadis,ivic(injured),contreras, eto(doubtfull) Asteras tripolis remained without win in 6 games so far after the latest away loss with 2-0 against ergotelis with very bad performance and as a result the admins fired also the assistant coach who was at the bench at the last 2 games after the fire of the head coach and for this match at the bench will be a young trainer vergetis. President borovilos spoke at the last training of the team at the players with hard words and asked for improvement. Asteras so far looks as one of the weakest teams of the league and with that bad atmosphere it will be difficult to change the situation. Paok although had some important missings made a very important win for the europa league with 1-3 against shamrock and with very good performance and now wants another away win to leave behind the mini crisis that existed after the home loss from pao with 0-3. Now again will has some important missings but the last game showed that the replacements can cover the problems and with big need for the win has only one option to take the 3 points to rise up in the table and look more optimistic the next games. We think that paok is a lot more quality team than asteras and although both teams need the win the visitors will find the way to leave tripoli with the necessary win and we risk on that.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ARIS-OLYMPIACOS PICK:BOTH TO SCORE ODDS:2.10 WILLIAM HILL Greek Superleague,Fixture 9 Stadium Vikelidis,Capacity 22.800 Aris absences:garcia,neto,kapetanos,sifakis,cesarec(injured) Olympiacos absences:yeste,abdoun(injured) Very big game between two teams with big rivalry. Aris make one of the worst start of seasons so far,remains without win in the first 6 matches and after the last away loss with 3-0 against aek the coach of the team tsiolis fired. Now without time to lose,aris has to be concetrated in this big match and because of that the new coach of the team,probierz is ready to be at the bench although has only one training with the players. For this match aris has two good returns of castillo and soltani who can give solutions at the problem of goalscoring. Olympiacos is coming from two bad results,first the home draw against ofi with 2-2 and the away loss from dortmund with 1-0 for champions league and the win seems necessary for the points but also for the morale of the team because the next match is against panathinaikos and the team dont want to go with a possible handicap of 4 points at the table and with low morale. With the signs of the two teams so far,the away win showed the most probable result but the change of the coach of aris,who usually give a positive reaction at the players,and a big motive for the players to impress their new coach and the big passion of the fans for a result against a big opponent,lead us to risk a lot that the both teams will score,a bet with good odds.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 Panathinaikos - AEK Panathinaikos are current leaders with 5-1-0 and 16 :5 goal difference. At home they got 2 straight wins beating Ergotelis 4:0 and PAS Gianina 3:1 so far. The team seems to be in top form right now, showing great team spirit and motivaition. Leto is unstopable and I expect him to create big troubles to AEK shaky defense. Panathinaikos is playing solid against AEK lately, as they got 3 wins in their last 4 meetings, as 2 of them are with 2 or more goals difference. Panathinaikos is not peforming in Europe so will be fresh, fit and well-prepared for this game. On the other side AEK got Europe LEague game during the week, lost from Lokomotiv Moscow at home with 1:3, Some of their regulars rested, but the other part should be a bit tired for sure. AEK is far away from their best form and also the team lost from their quality during the summer. AEK showed some poor signs on the road already losing from much weaker sides as OFI 3:1 and PAOK 3:0, so I expect huge troubles for them against high flying Panathinaikos. home win is rated @ 1.75, but for competition will try hendi option Pana(-1.5)AH 3.00 @ Bet365

For this match again the hosts will have many important missings and coach karageorgiou knows that without some creative players the key factor for the good result will be the defense. Panetolikos is coming from a home win against xanthi with 2-0 and good performance and the newcomers showing that have a enough quality squad to succeed easy the main target of a voiding relegation. Now with good morale and without important missings travell to crete for another positive result and to collect point or points against team with the same target. It will be an interesting game between two well organized teams but we think that the two coaches will start with a first approach not to lose it so will be more focused at the defense and we believe in a close game with not many chances and goals to give us the under.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 Asteras vs PAOK Away side is boosted by the last win to Shamrock in the European cup. In that game the players confimed with their atitude that they support their coach, Boloni and will help him not to be fired. Last results were not the best, but against Asteras they should put second win in a row. Asteras had good home results, but when they met a better side, they crushed - 1-2 home with Aris!

This year the two teams have started very well and look in good form and this make more interesting the match. Olympiacos has so far 5 wins and 2 draws with very good performances in some of them and stands in the 2nd place,2 points away from pao at the top and wants the win to overcome his big opponent at the table. Olympiacos is coming from an away win against aris with 2-3 with good display and with very good morale goes to this big derby for the important win. Panathinaikos looks in great condition with 6 wins and 1 draw,stands at the top,plays maybe the best football so far and with big confidence after the big win in the other derby with 3-2 against aek goes to piraeus to confirm his great form with another positive result. We predict a very interesting,passionate match between the best teams in greece who are in good condition but we are going to give an advantage to olympiacos who plays at home and the hot crowd of karaiskakis always give a big boost at the players of the home team and that showed from past results with only 2 wins in the last 20 years for pao. Although is very risky to predict a winner in these matches we are going to back the champions who will have an extra motive to prove that remains the best team in this important match for the points but also for the prestige.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 AEK-ASTERAS TRIPOLIS PICK:AEK ODDS:1.50 BET365 Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium OAKA,Capacity 69.618 Aek absences:gudjohnsen,gentsoglou,lagos(injured), cala,vargas(banned) Asteras absences:solakis,rubil,orozco(injured), kerr,sesma,argyropoulos,bakasetas,perrone,matusiak, juanito(doubtfull,all without regular training so far) Aek is coming from another bad result,the loss in the big derby against panathinaikos with 3-2 in a match that until the 60th minute was terrible and only when the score made 3-0 and pao relaxed succeeded to score 2 and tried to steal the point. The problems remain with the admins to try to find investors but so far nothing new and aek under this situation is obligate to continue and to make some good games and wins to increase the morale and the win in this game is necessary to get out from the bad atmosphere. Asteras at the other side finally made the first win and against a big team,paok,with 1-0 and with new coach tsiolis who fired from aris will try to continue the big gight to avoid relegation. For this match asteras has a difficult week because many important players didnt make regular training so far and although the most will play their condition will be a question mark and if they dont tsiolis will find it difficult to present a strong team. Remarkable the fact that coach tsiolis visited aeks home 2 weeks ago with aris and lost 3-0 and that was his last match at aris bench. Even this years aek remains a lot better team than asteras and we believe easy or difficult will find the way to make a necessary home win to bring calm to the team and we are going to bet on the home win.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 PAOK-PANETOLIKOS PICK:PAOK ODDS:1.53 BET365 Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Toumba,Capacity 28.703 Paok absences:ivic,tsoukalas,leonardo(injured) Panetolikos:mitropoulos(doubtfull) Paok after a good start now remains 5 matches without win and the situation is bad in the team so the win in this game looks necessary because another failure will increase the criticism and will leave the team far from the top of table so early at the season. For this match paok will has some injuries again but also some important returns of garcia,eto and athanasiadis who will strengthen the hosts and give some solutions to boloni. Panetolikos is coming from an away draw with 0-0 against ergotelis in a bad game without chances but for the newcomers every away point is valueable. The visitors making a good start so far and with their performances look capable to gain their main target of avoid relegation easily. Paok looks desperate for the win,is better team than panetolikos and after the break which maybe will make good at the team and with some important returns we think that will be very concetrated and passionate to make this important win in front of their fans and we bet on that.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 KERKYRA-ERGOTELIS PICK:UNDER 2.5 ODDS:1.57 EXPEKT Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Kerkyra,Capacity 2.685 Kerkyra absences:iliadis,metin(injured) Ergotelis absences:romano,chanti(injured) After the last away loss against xanthi with 1-0 which left the team with only 2 points after 7 matches coach bandovic fired from the team and his replacement is gracia who will try to stop this bad run with a good performance and the first win but will be difficult as the team showed so far big weaknesses. The hosts hope that after the break and with the new coach the situation will change and will start make wins before its too late to avoid relegation. Ergotelis is coming from a home draw against panetolikos with 0-0 in a bad game but with 4 points in the last 2 games the morale of the team is better after the bad run and now will try to make an important away win against a similar level team. For this match coach karageorgiou will has more solutions after his decision to stop the discipline ban in some of the team players. This is a very important match especially for the home team who cant afford another failure but as the new coach said the key will be to keep a clean sheet first and then to try for the winning goal and this will be also the way that the visitors will play and we predict a very close game with not many chances and goals to give us the under.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 GIANNINA-XANTHI PICK:XANTHI+0.5 ODDS:1.78 LADBROKES Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Zosimades,Capacity 7.500 Giannina absences:tzanis(injured) Xanthi absences:none Giannina will play again after almost a month and coach demol worries about the condition of his players after that big break. The team is coming from an away loss against atromitos with 1-0 and now after two winless games will try to return in the wins. In this break the atmosphere wasnt so good with rumors that demol will be fired but so far he stays at his post and also with a fight at the training between coach and keita. Xanthi finally after 4 winless matches made an important home win against kerkyra with 1-0 although played for 30 minutes with player less and now with less stress will try to continue in a positive way. It will be an interesting game between two teams with the same target but we still believe that xanthi is better team than the results shown and maybe the long break will be a negative factor for the home team and also with the latest situations which made the atmosphere bad we think that xanthi is capable to take this advantage and to leave from giannina with point or points. (in 3 matches at zosimades between the 2 teams with have 3 draws).

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 Hey! I would hesitate to bet on Olympiakos, despite the dropping odds. It has just been confirmed that Ibagaza will not play, so most of the creativity in Olympiakos' midfield is lost. Yeste, who may try to replace him, has not helped the team so far. It is only Panathinaikos' defense (very unreliable) and Olympiakos' offense (quite a bit of talent) that may still justofy such a bet. Plus, the need for Olympiakos to deliver a performance worth of a championship favorite, in front of its own fans. Ciao, M. ;)

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 ATROMITOS-LEVADIAKOS PICK:ATROMITOS-1 ODDS:1.81 10BET Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Peristeri,Capacity 10.200 Atromitos absences:none Levadiakos absences:kotitsas,napoleoni(injured) Atromitos continues the good performances and the good results and remains undefeated in 8 games so far with 4 wins and 4 draws to confirms the high expactations of the team and the quality of the players and now wants another home win to stay in this great form. Atromitos showed character in the last match against panionios because although found to lose 0-1 succeeded to turned the score with 2 goals in 5 minutes and now coach donis who has no problems for this match expects from his players to be concetrated against levadiakos to make another win. Levadiakos finally will play football this year and at the superleague,after the summer scandal remained unbalanced and only now learned in which league will play. The team make some latest additions to strengthen the squad fore the superleague but it will be very difficult to compete with the other teams who already found a rhythm and had a better preparation. The newcomers although these problems remain optimistic and enthousiastic to participate in the superleague and will try to play good football and to gain the main target of avoiding relegation. Despite the fact that levadiakos remains a question mark because this will be the first match for the visitors we are going to back the quality of atromitos who looks very serious and epsecially at home very strong and we think that will make another win maybe with a comfort way.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 OFI-ARIS PICK:ARIS+0.25 ODDS:1.93 PINNACLE Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Th.Vardinogiannis,Capacity 8.500 Ofi absences:pitsos,charitonidis,bourbos(injured) Aris absences:sifakis,neto,kapetanos,cesarec,garcia(injured) Ofi has made a great start for his expectations with 3 wins,3 draws and only 1 loss,playing very good football and looks capable for something better than to avoid relegation. In the last game made a great away win against panionios with 1-3 and a very good performance and with high morale wants to continue like that. Coach anastopoulos only concerns if the break will effect his players and their form and another problem is a fifa desicion to ban with -6 points from this league the team for a debt in an ex player but the admins make the necessary actions to find a solution and to take back the points. Aris even with the new coach,probierz made another loss,at home from olympiacos with 2-3 with the only positive the passion at the end to fight for the draw but after all the team remained without win for 7 games so far. Probierz has 2 weeks to learn his new team and to showing his way that would like the team to play and now in a difficult trip wants to make a new start witha positive result. It will be a very interesting game between the newcomers who are in great form and a traditional good team of greece and although the visitors looks in bad condition and will have to face also the difficult home of ofi with the hot crowd we are going to risk a lot that will find the way to leave from crete with point or points.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 DOXA DRAMAS-PANIONIOS PICK:BOTH TO SCORE ODDS:2.05 WILLIAM HILL Greek Superleague,Fixture 10 Stadium Kaftanzoglio,Capacity 27.770 Doxa absences:kapel(injured),soiledis(doubtfull) Panionios absences:riera,rokas(injured) Doxa is the other one team with levadiakos who will make debut this week after a long waiting for the final desicion in which league will participate. Everyone around the team and especially the fans are enthousiastic about the return of doxa in the superleague after 17 years and despite the problematic summer which not left the team to made the best preparation and the best additions,they want to enjoy this return and to fight hard to avoid relegation although will be difficult. Doxa will play the home matches not at the natural home of the team but at iraklis home and the fans will have to make a trip to follow their team but for this match expected a big crowd. Panionios seems ready to be dissolved because the economical problems are uncontroled and the first negative reactions are the mutual compensation of estoyanoff,the best player of the team and also made known that coach lemonis will stand for the last time at the bench of the team. The situation is very bad and will be difficult for the players not to be effected from these problems and we have to wait to see their reaction at the game. This is a very weird match for all the above reasons and is a question mark what to expect from the 2 teams but we are going to risk a lot that the enthousiasm of the home team will lead to an open match with enough chances and at least both to score.

Re: Greek 1st league 2011-2012 LEVADIAKOS-DOXA DRAMAS PICK:LEVADIAKOS ODDS:1.95 BWIN Greek Superleague,Fixture 11 Stadium Levadia Municipal,Capacity:6500 Levadiakos absences:kotitsas,napoleoni(injured) Doxa Dramas absences:kapel(injured) Levadiakos is coming from a midweek away loss from aek with 2-1 in a match that didnt played very well but has some complains from the referees for the aeks penalty and maybe the second goal was offside. Now after 2 games has 1 point in the away game against atromitos with good performance and against the other team who started also the previous week wants to make the first win to look more optimistic the future. Doxa in the first appearance of the team took a draw at home against panionios in the worst so far game of the league with two teams not creating any chances and who looked bored at all and especially doxa was very pathetic trying only not to concede with 10 men at the defence. The first signs of the two teams showing that levadiakos has a better team with more quality players and that doxa very difficult will avoid to be the at the bottom of the league at the end. WIth these few signs we are going to risk on levadiakos who plays at home and should win this match if wants to avoid relegation,showed better than doxa and capable for this win.
