For the repeat of the 3rd qualifying round of the Conference League, Panathinaikos welcomes Slavia Paragas to "Apostolos Nikolaidis". The away goal rule does not apply, in the event of a total tie there will be extra time and if necessary the procedure of penalties.
It wasn't just pleasant the return of Panathinaikos to European competitions after 5 years. Defeated in Prague by Slavia with 2-0 which was accompanied by a poor performance but also by tragic refereeing and is now looking for a breakthrough to continue in the competition. In the first half, he lined up with the goal of not conceding a goal and until the 40th minute everything was going according to plan, but at that point in time we had the unfair dismissal with a second yellow card of Palasios and until the protests of the "greens" stopped, the home team scored and went to locker room in front of the score. At the beginning of the replay, the home team played less, but not only did they not react, but a few minutes later, Slavia scored a second goal and having the score they wanted, they kept it very easily until the end of the match.
Now Panathinaikos needs a victory with at least a 2 goal difference to claim qualification at the packed Leoforos.
Slavia may not have impressed in the first match a week ago but everything went right for them and they got the score they wanted and now go to Athens with a qualification advantage. He made the most of Panathinaikos' poor reaction after Palasios was sent off and scored at the end of the first half and early in the replay to take an easy victory.
In the league, it made its first victory after the defeat in the premiere, easily prevailing over Zlin with 4-1 despite the many changes it had in its eleven to rest players in view of today's rematch.
The score of the first match gives Slavia a clear qualification lead and forces Panathinaikos to chase the goal from the start of the match. The Czechs also have the advantage of being more competitively prepared, but I think that the greens with the help of their crowd will look very competitive and will give everything for the upset. Let's go for a big night, we may even need a party!
Tip: Panathinaikos Over 1,5 goals with an odds of 2.85
