Botev Plovdiv vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Ian John | in Europa League Predictions
Botev Plovdiv faces Panathinaikos in the second leg of their Europa League Second Round qualifying tie. The Canaries host the Greens, facing a 2-1 deficit from the first match in Greece last week. It could have been worse for Botev, as Panathinaikos led 2-0 at the half, but a second-half strike from Alen Korosec put them back in the tie. What is the prediction we are making for this tricky clash?
Trailing by a single goal, Botev do not have to go out all guns blazing in this game. Head coach Dusan Kerkez will be well aware of the threat Panathinaikos pose, especially considering that the Greeks have won both their last two friends and the first leg of this tie.
The Bulgarian team only finished ninth domestically last season, but were the Bulgarian Cup winners, which qualified them for this competition. They warmed up for the return leg of this tie with a 2-2 draw in the Plovdiv derby against Lokomotiv at the weekend.
Panathinaikos domestic season does not get underway in Greece until the end of August, but the Greek side have found some good form, winning their last three games. That came after a four-game streak without a win at the end of last season, followed by some indifferent friendly results.
Diego Alonso's team will be desperate for an improvement in form this season after finishing fourth in the Greek Championship Round playoffs last season and witnessing rivals Olympiacos win the Conference League. Their last match was the 2-1 victory they enjoyed in the first leg of this tie.
Whoever progresses will face either Ajax Amsterdam or Vojvodina in the Europa League Third Qualifying Round on the 8th and 15th August.

Our Botev Plovdiv vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction
Our prediction for the Botev Plovdiv vs. Panathinaikos second leg tie is: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
With the home side a goal down from the first leg, they are going to have to push on at some point in this game. Panathinaikos have hit a good run of form of late and they are averaging two goals a game in that run. With the first leg seeing both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals scored, the chances are good that we may well see the same kind of scoreline here once again.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
