Euroleague champions Olympiacos will meet Greek champions Panathinaikos in the first round of the Greek League.

It’s going to be quiet in the SEF when the two biggest rivals in Greece square off in week 1.

The game will be played on 12 October before an empty house. Olympiacos is carrying a penalty that is forcing them to open the 2013/14 season by playing games behind closed doors following crowd trouble last season. In Game 3 of the Greek League Finals last season the match was abandoned with 1.27 left and eventually awarded to Panathinaikos 20-0. This gave the Greens a 3-0 sweep of the series. The return game in the OAKA will be played on 18 January.

Here’s the full list of fixtures for Round 1 of the 2013/14 Greek League:
KAOD vs Aris
Aries Trikala vs AE Nea Kifisia
Panelefsiniakos vs Panionios
Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos
Apollon Patras vs Ilisiakos
Rethymno Aegean vs Ikaros Chalkidas
PAOK vs Kolossos Rodou
