Panathinaikos exploded in their first match of the group stage, defeating Young Boys 4:1 away. The team has only one loss in their last 11 matches across all tournaments, and at home, although draws are predominant, they remain unbeaten this season. Earlier in August, in the Europa League qualifiers, they drew at home with Shakhtar and defeated Samsunspor 2:1.
Thanks to winning the Dutch Cup, Go Ahead Eagles made their debut in the group stage of the Europa League. However, they lost 0:1 at home against FCSB in their first match, despite performing well and taking a total of 17 shots. Over the weekend, they also suffered a 2:4 loss away to Telstar in the league, marking the first time since August last year that they have lost two consecutive matches. With only two wins from the first seven rounds in the championship, they find themselves in the lower half of the temporary standings.
Prediction: victory for PanathinaikosThe current form and home advantage are on Panathinaikos's side, who also seems to me to be the more likely winner of this match.
