# Panetolikos vs OFI Prediction & Betting Tips – Greek Super League, Sunday, November 1, 2026
**🟡🔵 Panetolikos FC vs ⚫⚪ OFI Crete**
**Main Prediction: OFI Crete to Win (2)**
**Correct Score: Panetolikos 1-2 OFI Crete**
**Both Teams to Score: Yes**
**Total Goals: Over 2.5 Goals**
Panetolikos welcome OFI Crete to the Panetolikos Stadium in Agrinio on Sunday, November 1, 2026, for Matchday 9 of the 2026/27 Greek Super League season. Kickoff is scheduled for **18:00 Greek local time (EET)**.
This encounter brings together two teams experiencing very different domestic campaigns, although both face important challenges heading into the fixture.
Giannis Anastasiou's Panetolikos enter the match in tenth position with nine points from eight league fixtures. Their season began with encouraging results, but five consecutive defeats have dramatically reduced their momentum.
The hosts have suffered losses against Panathinaikos, PAOK, Kifisia, Olympiacos and AEK Athens. Their most recent result was a disappointing 5-0 away defeat against AEK on October 24.
During that five-match losing sequence, Panetolikos have scored just once and conceded 15 goals.
OFI Crete, managed by Christos Kontis, occupy sixth position with 13 points from eight matches. The visitors have recorded four victories, one draw and three defeats, scoring 13 goals while conceding 12.
Their latest league performance was an important 2-1 home victory against PAOK on October 25, demonstrating the attacking quality and determination available within the squad.
However, OFI's away results have been less convincing. The Cretan club have lost three of their four away league matches, including defeats against AEK Athens and Kalamata.
The recent head-to-head record also favors Panetolikos, who have won four of the previous five competitive meetings.
Nevertheless, the current form comparison provides a stronger argument for the visitors.
**LincBet's editorial prediction favors OFI Crete to secure a narrow away victory.** Their superior attacking production, stronger league position and recent win against PAOK provide the foundation for this assessment.
The projected final result is **Panetolikos 1-2 OFI Crete**, with Both Teams to Score – Yes and Over 2.5 Goals selected as the preferred additional outcomes.
