Panathinaikos Athens vs Marseille Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
Greek giants Panathinaikos will play host to Marseille in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. For the visitors, this will be the first match of the season after mixed fortunes in preseason. The hosts played in the previous round of this competition, beating Ukrainian side Dnipro-1 5-3 on aggregate. The last few matches have been rather stable for Panathinaikos, losing just once in 10 matches. They have six wins in the last 10 outings and only failed to score once in that period. Panathinaikos have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches. Coming into this one, they drew 2-2 with Dnipro-1, their third of five matches to see over 2.5 goals scored. The Greek side hasn’t played much in the Champions League in recent years. They return this season after an eight-year absence. In the last 10 Champions League matches they have four wins.
Olympique Marseille haven't enjoyed much in preseason; they come here on two losses in the four matches played. In their most recent outing, the French side lost 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen. While that was the first time in five that they conceded more than a goal, they have failed to score in two of five matches. The French side has scored more than a goal in just one of the last five matches. Their away run doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, having lost four of five. Similarly, they’ve struggled away from home in the Champions League. In the last 11 away matches in the competition, Marseille have lost 10. This will be the first time these two sides meet. Marseille will want to make it count as they eye a first-leg advantage. Last season they played in the group stages but it didn’t end well, as they failed to progress.
