Panathinaikos Athens vs Botev Plovdiv Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

 by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions

The first match of the Europa League second qualifying round tie between Panathinaikos and Botev Plovdiv will take place at the Athens Olympic Stadium on Thursday evening. The second leg will be played in Bulgaria next week and the winner across the two matches will meet either Ajax or FK Vojvodina in the next round. Find out our prediction below.

The Greens had a fairly underwhelming 2023-24 league season, dropping to fourth place from second the previous season and ending eight points behind champions PAOK. However, they did manage to secure silverware, winning the Greek Football Cup against Aris in May. 

Panathinaikos reached the playoff round in the Champions League qualifiers last season but were knocked out by Braga 3-1 on aggregate. They then entered this competition but ended bottom of their group with just one victory in their six matches. 

With the 2024-25 Greek Super League season yet to get underway, the Shamrocks have played four friendlies this month and won the most recent two while losing and drawing the first couple. These sides have never met in the past but the bookies have the hosts down as the clear favourites. 

Meanwhile, the Canaries brought an end to a six-year trophy drought by winning the Bulgarian Cup, beating Ludogorets 3-2 in the final last season. That victory also earned them qualification for Europe after missing out via the league position route due to their seventh-place finish. 

Botev Plovdiv are returning to the Europa League qualifiers for the first time since 2017-18 when they reached the third qualifying round. They have never made it to the main draw in 10 previous attempts. 

Unlike their opponents, the visitors were involved in the first round of qualifying and managed to overcome Maribor 4-3 on aggregate. They are now unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions and scored two or more goals in each of those games.

Our Panathinaikos Athens vs Botev Plovdiv Prediction

Panathinaikos are the clear favourites here but they have not played a competitive match in exactly two months and may take a while to settle back into rhythm, especially against a fairly unknown opponent.

Botev Plovdiv’s major strength lies in their attack and they will know that getting an early goal here will be vital to their chances of remaining in the tie. We expect a few goals in this one, therefore, our Panathinaikos vs Botev Plovdiv prediction: Over 2.5!

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.
