Paksi FC
- Paksi FC have won five, drawn two and lost three of their 10 matches in all competitions this term, which is a solid if unspectacular run of results, and they'll need to be right on their A game to overcome the quality of Panathinaikos in Hungary this Thursday.
- György Bognár's men have set themselves up to be compact and difficult to beat and they're usually at their happiest when they can spring forward quickly and attack the second ball.
Panathinaikos
- Panathinaikos are the clear favorite to secure passage through to the next round at 1.6 against Paksi FC's 5.5, and that makes sense as Jacob Neestrup's men have a lot of quality in their ranks.
- The Greeks have won just two, drawn one and lost two of their last five in all competitions, however, so they haven't exactly been putting away teams with ease either.
Panathinaikos
Vicente Taborda has been a real spark in recent weeks, hitting three of Panathinaikos' nine goals in the last five matches to give them a little more edge in the final third.
Betting Insights
- The 3.85 line on the draw looks on the short side for this fixture and the value looks to be on the Greek visitors, who should win the match if they're at their very best.
- Paksi are a resilient side on home soil, where they have won three and drawn one of their four matches this term, conceding just four goals in those games.
Prediction
We're taking a Panathinaikos win and under 3.5 goals , as Paksi will likely sit deep and make them work for their chances.
