Panathinaikos vs Viktoria Plzen prediction
Rafa Benitez remains in charge at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium but the former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss isn’t doing an overly impressive job. Panathinaikos most recently shared a 1-1 draw with AEL at the weekend, meaning that they have won just two of their last nine matches across all competitions.
Viktoria Plzen come into this one on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 defeat of Sigma Olomouc away from home at the weekend to ensure they remain tucked inside in the Czech top four. That win means they are unbeaten in five matches across all competitions since their return from the winter break.
Viktoria Plzen are in good form and are difficult to beat and they now take on low-scoring, deflated opposition so siding with them would be the way to go for this one.
Panathinaikos vs Viktoria Plzen tip: Double chance – Viktoria Plzen to win or draw
