Panathinaikos
GreeceCurrent form
Greek Panathinaikos can be pleased with its own entry into the playoffs of the third most important European Cup tournament. To put it bluntly, the Clover ones did not deserve to perform at a higher level this season, as they did not win a single victory in the first three rounds. In the last game, the team beat Dinamo Minsk (4:0), and the game before it won the match against New Saints (2:0).

1.68Tip and bets
The difference in class between the Icelandic and Greek championships remains large. The nominal hosts have suffered only one defeat in the last four games in the Conference League, and they won the last home game. At the same time, the team from Greece is on a series of two matches without Victoria, which Vikingur intends to take advantage of. We believe that the Icelanders will play confidently on the defensive and, at least, will not lose big.
The forecast is an Asian handicap (+1.5) on Vikingur with a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on team goals
It will not be easy for the nominal hosts to hit the opponent's goal. However, Panathinaikos has not looked very confident in defense lately and has conceded in four games in a row. Vikingur has a good attacking line and the Icelanders will have plenty of chances to score in today's match.
Forecast — Vikingur will score with a coefficient of 1.80
Bet on the total
The Icelanders played their last home game in European competitions effectively. This is the team's current style of play. The visitors also act on the field in an open manner with a focus on attack and today, most likely, they will not close in defense. We recommend paying attention to the high total.
The forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
