Certainly, Panathinaikos will rely on their home advantage for a good result before the rematch in Italy. They have not lost at home since October when they fell to Chelsea in the same tournament with 1:4. At the moment, they have five consecutive home wins, and after the loss to Chelsea, they achieved three consecutive victories at home without conceding a goal in the Conference League. However, these wins were against teams like Dynamo Minsk, HIK, and Vikingur, which are definitely not on the level of Fiorentina.
Overall, Fiorentina had no problems in the group stage, finishing in third place. However, they suffered a surprising loss as a guest to Apoel Nicosia. Lately, Fiorentina has been inconsistent and does not seem to be in the good form they showed in the first stage of the season. Their last visit to Athens was the lost final in the Conference League last season against Olympiacos.
Forecast: 1X double chance, under 2.5 goalsI think at least in the first match at home, Panathinaikos may not lose, especially since Fiorentina's form seems to have declined recently, and the team has become more inconsistent.
