Panathinaikos

Summary
Lineups
Head to Head

Panathinaikos aims to raise their performance level and secure their first away victory in this match.


Struggling in the Europa Conference League, they’ve dropped too many points since the start of the campaign and cannot afford anything less than a win in Wales.


With a squad featuring talents like Tete, Ioannidis, Djuricic, and Pellistri, their early-season setbacks were unexpected.

But they’ve started to find their rhythm and are now on a 6-game unbeaten run. While their victories often come by narrow 1-goal margins, their defense has been exceptional, keeping clean sheets throughout this streak.

If their attack clicks, their results could improve significantly.


Today, they face TNS, a team whose quality is notably below that of Panathinaikos. TNS’s only highlight so far has been a 2:0 home win against Astana. Even in their losses, they’ve managed to keep games close, typically losing by just a 1-goal margin.

What we say

Panathinaikos to Win



TNS will be tough to break down at home, relying on counterattacks to pose challenges for Panathinaikos.

However, with the away team's defense being rock-solid, it’s unlikely TNS will find a way through.


Given the significant quality gap between the two sides and Panathinaikos's determination to secure a crucial three points, we expect a focused and determined performance from the visitors. Ultimately, this should lead to their first away victory in the Conference League.
