Panathinaikos Athens vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League
by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions
Premier League giants Chelsea, billed Conference League favorites, will be in Greece to take on Panathinaikos on Thursday. The Blues travel for this game seeking to stop Oi Prasinoi’s quest for a first win in the competition. This Match Day 2 encounter will be hosted at the Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis in Athens. In this preview we will have a look at the stats before offering a prediction.
Heading into the game, Panathinaikos will have to be at their best as they face their toughest test yet. It didn’t go so well on Match Day 1 as they drew with Borac Banja Luka, but they are coming from a win in their domestic league.
Chelsea, on the other hand, will come targeting a return to winning ways after two straight winless outings. Their league phase opening match produced a home win against Gent. They would, however, pick just a point from the two games coming afterwards.

Panathinaikos Athens - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Panathinaikos let an early lead slip in the opening game of this phase of the competition, to draw 1-1 with outsiders Borac Banja Luka. That formed one third of their winless outings before recovering in their most recent match.
An early goal from Mateus Tete delivered a 1-0 win away to OFI in the Greek league. Now Panathinaikos, who have lost once in nine matches, count on home comforts to start a fine run in Europe.
They are unbeaten in their last four home matches, winning three and keeping three clean sheets. However, one win in 18 matches against English teams means they have to be at their best here.
Panathinaikos’ poor run against English teams places Chelsea as favorites.
Chelsea will have their target for this game well spelt out. After a losing outing away to Liverpool on Sunday, the script is clear – a return to winning ways. That loss came after previously playing to a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
This should pass as a simpler assignment for the Blues but they aren’t doing great defensively. They’ve conceded seven times in the last four matches and Enzo Maresca will be scratching his head for a solution to this.
In the first game in this competition, they had to endure tricky moments before beating Gent 4-2 at Stamford Bridge. Their away run depicts some inconsistency, as the team has five wins in the last 13 matches on the road.

Panathinaikos Athens & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Former Manchester United midfielder Facundo Pellistri hasn’t had the best of times in Greece but he will know one or two things about facing a Premier League club.
He scored one of the goals in Panathinaikos’ elimination of Lens at the qualifying stage, and won’t mind adding to his tally.
Anastasios Bakasetas’ return to Greece after years in Turkey is so far proving fruitful. He scored seven league goals last season and has already netted twice in Europe this term.
He was on the mark on Match Day 1 and will provide the needed support to Tetê and Filip Ðuričić in attack.
There is, however, expected to be a somber mood in Athens following the death of Panathinaikos player George Baldock. The English-born defender was part of the team in their last Conference League match.
Chelsea have no new injury concerns but Reece James could be rested here.
Chelsea have a number of top players not registered for the Conference League, which means we’ll see some changes for this game. Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer and Wesley Fofana are among them.
Marc Cucurella will be fresh enough to start in Athens after serving a domestic ban in the Liverpool defeat. Backup keeper Filip Jorgensen will be back in the squad too, after missing the last game with a head injury.
Reece James is back from a long injury layoff, but it remains unlikely he will feature here.

Our Panathinaikos Athens vs Chelsea Prediction
Panathinaikos will be looking to do well at home after a 1-1 draw away to Borac in Bosnia on Match Day 1. However, as they may come to find out, Chelsea will be a tougher opponent.
The visitors started the competition on a winning note but have failed to win in their last two, domestic matches. They will be looking to bounce back here, especially after their painful loss to Liverpool.
Chelsea may have left a number of star players out of their squad for the competition but will still be a strong outfit. Our prediction for Panathinaikos v Chelsea is for Chelsea to win.
Panathinaikos Athens vs Chelsea - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
Panathinaikos have a strong home record coming into this match. They haven't lost in their last four games at home and will hope to extend the same against Chelsea. The confidence they draw from this run should result in at least breaching the Chelsea backline.
The Blues have also done well in attack coming here and we will back them to score. Our second prediction for this match is for both teams to score.
