Super League 2026-27 Predictions: The complete guide to the new season

Super League 2026-27 predictions with team analysis, competition format, title favorites, outright odds and Super League betting options at Fonbet.
The
Super League 2026-27
kicks off on
August 22, 2026
, with the Greek championship entering a new season that combines the battle between the traditional title contenders with several changes on the benches and within the squads. AEK are called upon to defend last season’s title, Olympiacos begin as the leading favorites based on the odds, while Panathinaikos and PAOK are aiming to close the gap to the top.

How the Super League 2026-27 will be played

The championship features
14 teams
and the regular season consists of
26 matchdays
, with every team facing all the others home and away. The regular season concludes
on March 21, 2027
, after which the standings are divided into three groups.

The teams finishing in positions
1-4
continue into the playoffs, which will determine the champion and the first European places, while retaining the points collected during the regular season. Positions
5-8
lead to separate playoffs, where the points from the regular season are divided
by
two
, with the opportunity to compete for the final European place, depending also on the outcome of the Greek Cup. The teams in positions
9-14
take part in the playouts with the points they collected during the regular season, while the bottom
two
are relegated.

This format gives particular importance both to the top four and to the cutoff for eighth place. A small points difference at the end of the regular season can lead to completely different objectives for the final part of the campaign.

The four main title contenders

Olympiacos

Olympiacos
finished last season in
2nd place with 66 points
, behind AEK, and enter the new campaign with returning to the top as their main objective.
José Luis Mendilibar
remains in charge, while the squad has undergone significant changes. Among the additions, the return of Kostas Fortounis stands out, alongside players such as David Carmo and Gustavo Sá.

Their European start was not the one they wanted, as Olympiacos were eliminated by NEC Nijmegen in the third qualifying round of the
Champions League
and continue in the
Europa League
. In the domestic championship, however, the odds place them first among the favorites.

ΑΕΚ

AEK
enter the season as Greek champions, having won the 2025-26 title and finished the playoffs at the top with
72 points
.
Marko Nikolić
continues his work while retaining a large part of the core squad, with the main change being the departure of Orbelín Pineda for Monterrey.

The consistency they showed last season is their main advantage, although managing their European commitments and adapting to the changes in midfield will influence their attempt to win a second consecutive championship. AEK also remain very close to Olympiacos in the outright odds.

Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos
ended last season in
4th place with 52 points
, staying well away from the title race. Significant squad strengthening followed during the summer, with players such as Stefan de Vrij, Rick van Drongelen, Kings Kangwa, Triantafyllos Tsapras and Levi García, who joined on loan from Spartak Moscow.

Expectations are higher for the new season, as Panathinaikos must combine their European commitments with greater consistency in the domestic championship. The objective is to become more competitive over the course of the season and make a genuine return to the battle for the top.

PAOK

PAOK
finished last season in
3rd place with 64 points
and begin the new campaign with significant changes.
Alessio Lisci
has taken over as head coach, while the departure of Giannis Konstantelias for Borussia Dortmund represents the biggest change in the squad. The Greek international signed with the German club until
2031
.

The coaching change and the loss of a player with a central role in creativity make the start of the season particularly important. PAOK remain among the top four title candidates, but begin behind the other three in the current odds.

Aiming to go one step further

Aris
retained
Michalis Grigoriou
as head coach and have made several changes to the squad. Rafa Mir and Sebastián Palacios are among the new attacking options, with the main objective being to show greater consistency than last season. A place in positions
5-8
is the first major target, while reaching the top four would require a significant step forward on the pitch.

Levadiakos
were one of the most competitive teams during last season’s regular campaign, which they completed in
5th place
. The new season has brought a coaching change and significant alterations to the squad, with the most notable departure being Triantafyllos Tsapras to Panathinaikos. The objective is to maintain the level of consistency that took them so high last season.

OFI
come into the new season following an extremely important period. They won the
Greek Cup
and shortly before the start of the new championship defeated AEK
5-4
on penalties after a
2-2
draw in regulation time, also winning the
Super Cup
. European commitments increase the demands on the squad, but a place in positions
5-8
remains a completely realistic domestic target.

The teams chasing a place in the top eight

Atromitos
continue with
Dušan Kerkez
, who took over during the previous season and remains in charge for the new campaign. The signing of Hörður Magnússon adds experience to the defense, while the transfer of 17-year-old Konstantinos Karandrikas to Bayern Munich is an important development for the club’s academy.

Volos
are looking for greater consistency compared with the second half of last season. Players such as Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel and Gustavo Furtado have been added to the squad, with the Magnesia-based team initially focused on competing for a place in the top eight.

Asteras Tripolis
are aiming for a much smoother season after the difficulties they faced during last year’s regular campaign. The decision to retain
Giorgos Antonopoulos
as head coach and the return of players with extensive experience in the Greek championship, such as Dimitris Kourbelis and Giannis Kotsiras, create different conditions for the start of the season.

Kifisia
continue with
Sebastián Leto
and have carried out an extensive renewal of the squad. Jordi Mboula, Imam Jagne and Leroy Abanda are among the new faces. After securing survival last season, the main objective is to gain greater consistency and reduce the pressure of the playout battle as early as possible.

Panetolikos
also begin the season aiming to avoid a prolonged relegation battle. Continuing their cooperation with
Giannis Anastasiou
provides stability on the bench, while the squad has changed in several positions. For the Agrinio-based team, a campaign that brings them close to the top eight would represent a clear improvement compared with the previous season.

The newly promoted Super League teams

The return of
Iraklis
is one of the most significant changes to the composition of the championship. The Thessaloniki club are back in the top division after an absence of
nine years
, having secured promotion as champions of the Northern Group of the second tier. The appointment of
Walter Mazzarri
as head coach and the numerous changes to the squad demonstrate the effort to adapt to the demands of the Super League.

Kalamata
return to the top division for the first time since the
2000-01
season.
Panagiotis Christofileas
took over as head coach following promotion, while the moves for Arnór Sigurðsson and Kenneth Vargas show that the club has tried to add quality and experience. Adapting to the level of the division will be the first priority, with survival remaining the main objective.
