Panathinaikos vs Vikingur: forecast for the Conference League match
Panathinaikos will host Iceland's Vikingur on February 20. The fight will take place in Athens. The first match between these rivals ended with an unexpected 2-1 victory for the Icelandic club. Will the underdog be able to maintain a shaky advantage in Greece? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Panathinaikos
GreeceCurrent form
Panathinaikos takes the third place in the Greek championship, behind the two main contenders for the championship, Olympiacos and AEK. Not so long ago, the hosts lost to Aris (0:2), which spoiled their position in the standings. Now the team is five points behind the leader. Ruy Vitoria's team has already been eliminated from the national Cup, losing to Olympiacos in the quarterfinal match. The Conference League also now has every chance to leave the tournament. The Greek club was considered the clear favorite in the confrontation with Vikingur, but the Greens unexpectedly lost in Iceland. Panathinaikos could have conceded with a score of 0:2, but in stoppage time Ioannidis nevertheless reduced the gap in the score.
Disqualifications and injuries
Arao, Bakasetas, Edvay, Magnusson, Palmer-Brown and Pellistri will not play due to injuries. Karakasidis, Limnios, Nikas, Ruben Perez, Schenkeveld and Zeka are not announced for the tournament.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost three of the last four matches.
- In the last six matches, the hosts have never scored a goal.
Approximate composition: Lodygin - Mladenovich, Ingason, Fikai, Kotsiras - Maksimovich, Siopis, Sviderski - Djuricic, Yeremeyev, Mancini
Vikingur Reykjavik
IcelandCurrent form
Vikingur surprises many people this European season. Even at the group stage of the Conference League, the team from Reykjavik produced a lot of sensational results. For example, we managed to beat the much superior Cercle Brugge (3:1). The team took 19th place in the overall table and advanced to the playoffs, hitting the Greek Panathinaikos. Here, too, few people believed in the modest Icelandic club, but in the first match, Solvi Ottesen's team managed to beat their opponent with a score of 2:1. It was possible to win with a two-goal difference, but in the end the Greeks earned a penalty, which was realized. Now it will be difficult for the Icelandic team to maintain such a shaky advantage in the away game.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Robert Thorkelsson on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost four of its last six matches.
- In the last three matches won, the guests scored two goals each.
Approximate composition: Jonsson - Ibrahimadzic, Ekrot, Svein Thorkelsson - Gudjohnsen, Trandarson, Halfsteinsson, Agnarsson, Atlason - Ingimurdarson, Sigurpalsson

2.80Tip and bets
The hosts greatly outnumber their opponents, but the guests have already proved that they are able to compete on equal terms with stronger teams due to dedication. The hosts have a pretty impressive list of missing players, which should also affect the result. We believe that the team from Iceland will be able to impose a worthy struggle on Panathinaikos.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (+2.5) for Vikingur at 1.58
Bet on the total
The hosts will definitely attack from the very first minute, because they need to fight back. At the same time, the guests are able to act as the second number and often catch their rivals on counterattacks. We believe that this match will be interesting and spectacular, and there will be no shortage of goals scored.
Our forecast is a total of more than three goals in 1.67
Betting on corners
Judging by our description, it is clear that we expect an open game from this meeting, in which a considerable number of serves from the corner flag will be issued. We will place another bet on the riding total for this indicator.
Our forecast is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.85
