Panathinaikos vs Marseille Betting Tips and Prediction. On Wednesday, Panathinaikos will host Marseille in the opening leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium.
The hosts easily defeated Dnipro-1 in the second round, 5-3 on aggregate, to secure their spot in the third round. They will attempt to go to the group stage for the first time since the 2010–11 season as they are back in the Champions League qualifying rounds for the first time since the 2015–16 campaign.
The guests participated in the Champions League group stage last year, but they were unable to advance to the knockout round due to their fourth-place performance in Group D. They also failed to qualify for the UEFA Europa League knockout round playoffs.
On Wednesday, the visitors will compete in their first match of the year. During their final pre-season friendly, they lost 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen at home.
The hosts lost to Slavia Prague 3-1 on the road to elimination when they participated in the UEFA Europa Conference League third round the previous year. In the UEFA Europa League during the 2016–17 season, they last achieved European qualification.
Panathinaikos vs Marseille – Important Points:
On Wednesday, the two teams will get together for the first time.
In total, the hosts have faced French teams 11 times in all tournaments, with just three victories. The visitors have seven victories to their name in their ten encounters with Greek opponents.
Four of the visitors’ last five away games in all competitions have ended in losses.
In spite of the fact that two of those games finished in draws, the hosts have lost all three of their most recent home contests in all competitions.
Panathinaikos vs Marseille – The Prediction:
The Shamrock has played seven home games in Europe with just one victory, so they might have trouble in this encounter. The home leg of their second-round match against Dnipro-1 ended in a 2-2 draw. In their most recent ten games in all competitions, they have only lost once.
In addition to losing three of their last four away games in European tournaments, Les Phocéens have lost four of their last five away games overall. They’ll compete for the first time this season and might find it difficult.
With this in mind, we anticipate a low-scoring draw between the two clubs.
Prediction: Panathinaikos 1-1 Marseille
