Olympiacos derby day as Panathinaikos weigh left-back surprise

Panathinaikos are weighing a surprise at left-back

Jacob Nistrup is looking at his options on the left side of the Panathinaikos defence before the derby against Olympiacos on Sunday, October 11 (9). The Greek press is calling it a possible surprise pick, and the decision is his to make (9).

What that means for you: your team's derby opponent is not settled on the left of their back four. Whoever Nistrup picks there is the man your wingers attack.

Olympiacos go into the derby on the back of two straight wins. Asteras Tripoli 0–1 Olympiacos on Sunday, August 30, then Levadiakos 0–1 Olympiacos on Sunday, September 20, with the Europa League win over Jagiellonia Bialystok in between, a 2–1 at home on Wednesday, September 16.

Where you stand

Fifth in the Super League, 10 points from 5 games, goal difference +2.

The derby is at Panathinaikos on Sunday, October 11 at 20:00 CEST. Marseille away in the Europa League follows on Thursday, October 15, then Panetolikos away on Sunday, October 18.
