Real Betis vs Panathinaikos prediction
The first-leg of this UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie saw Panathinaikos edge past Real Betis by a goal to nil in Athens last week, courtesy of a Vicente Taborda penalty late on after Anass Zaroury and Diego Llorente had been sent off for either side respectively.
Rafa Benitez’ role in charge of Panathinaikos has been coming under doubt in recent weeks with the Athenians underperforming domestically but they had just about discovered some form just in the nick of time. Manuel Pellegrini is another veteran coach under pressure with the Chilean heavily criticised by Los Verdiblancos supporters, despite how well he has done and, frankly, is doing.
Betis are fifth in La Liga and have a couple of routes to UEFA Champions League qualification but going deep in Europe remains a major goal – and something they did last season. It could well be a long night in Seville with Betis favourites at La Cartuja, but a Benitez-coached Panathinaikos side can be very tough to beat.
Real Betis vs Panathinaikos tip: Real Betis to win & under 3.5 goals
