Football Bet of the Day: Big Two look good for three goals

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.427/5 in Panathinaikos v Olympiakos

Panathinaikos might have a new Italian manager, but Tobias Gourlay believes they can still help the top-of-the-table clash in Greece to Over 2.5 Goals

Panathinaikos v Olympiakos
Saturday 17:15

It was a knockout in Belgium last night. Gent 5 Westerlo 0. That'll do.

After 10 rounds of the Super League, Greece's Big Two are also Greece's top two. Out in front, Olympiakos have won a perfect 10/10 so far, scoring at least twice every time.

This evening Marco Silva's men go to Panathinaikos, on whose turf they have scored at least once in each of the last four seasons. Five of the pair's last nine league meetings have delivered Over 2.5 Goals, including 3/4 at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium. Around the country, 11 of the champions' last 17 away games have produced Over 2.5 Goals.

Panathinaikos have a new man in charge today. Italian Andrea Stramaccioni was appointed during the international break, but surely nationality alone can't justify the price on Over 2.5 Goals today?

Since the start of last season 13/22 of Panathinaikos' Super League home games have delivered three match goals or more. We're punting on another three or more today.
