Conference League League Phase, Matchday 2, Thursday, 24.10.2024 at 18:45
Slowly but surely, club soccer in Europe is picking up speed. Because in the coming days, it will go blow by blow.
This is also due to the fact that the Blues have to travel from the English capital to Attica to face the Prássini.
Naturally, my Panathinaikos Athens Chelsea betting tip assumes that the Londoners will have a clear advantage in the game.
Since the Greeks sensationally qualified for the Conference League against Lens at the end of August, the air seems to have gone out of them a little.
After all, they have only won two competitive games since then (4U, 1N). During this phase, they also drew with Borac Banja Luca (1:1).
And looking back, the Prássini cannot be satisfied with their attacking performance in particular. They shot 16 times in the direction of their opponents’ goal. However, they only managed two shots on target.
In fact, they have only managed to score more than once in their last six competitive matches. Not good conditions, then.
The Londoners have never been able to keep a clean sheet in their last four competitive matches. Even if the opponents, including Liverpool, were of course of a different caliber.
But it is well known that coach Enzo Maresca likes to use his reserves in European competitions. It’s quite possible that the gears will start to grind again
The opener against KAA Gent a few weeks ago showed just how vulnerable the squad can be despite their individual quality.
They struggled in the first half before Renato Veiga scored first and then added another goal.
If he scores again, you can expect odds of well over 8.00 for your Panathinaikos Athens Chelsea bet at Oddset. So there’s not a lot of confidence in the striker here.
This could also be due to the Blues’ mixed away record. They lost their last two away games on the European stage in 2022/23. They also lost in the qualifiers at Servette Geneva (1:2).
However, London fans needn’t get scared right away. After all, they are unbeaten in each of their last six matches with Greek teams (4S, 2U).
In comparison, the hosts’ record looks a little sadder. They have won just one of their last 18 encounters with English teams (6S, 11U).
They have also always struggled in the group stages of the respective UEFA competitions. The 2-0 win over Villarreal in the Europa League pre-season was their only victory in their last 20 games.
I wouldn’t risk more than a double chance bet in the Panathinaikos Athens Chelsea betting tip. Tipwin Sportwetten is predicting odds of just over 2.10.
I don’t have much hope for the home side. It’s true that the Londoners had to overcome a real tour de force against Liverpool on Sunday.
Nevertheless, their squad is broad enough to give them a clear playing advantage even with the B team.
Therefore, my Panathinaikos Athens Chelsea betting tip is: The Blues win and at least two goals are scored
