Fiorentina vs Panathinaikos Preview

Panathinaikos’ results have been quite disappointing this year in the Greek top flight. Fiorentina are one of the most experienced Conference League teams and dealt with difficult situations multiple times, so I am backing them to bounce back and advance on Thursday.

Stats

Fiorentina have won 7 of their last 9 home matches (Conference League).
Panathinaikos have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches.

HTH

Last week’s match in Athens was the first head to head match between these two teams.

Panathinaikos have won the first tie 3-2.

Fiorentina Form

Fiorentina had a strong run in the Conference League group stage, collecting 13 out of a possible 18 points (four wins, one draw, one defeat) to finish 3rd.

They have struggled across competitions recently, losing five of their last six matches. After ending the previous month with a 1-0 home win over Lecce, Viola suffered a 3-2 defeat to Panathinaikos in the Conference League playoff first leg, with Lucas Beltran and Nicolo Fagioli finding the net.

Last weekend, Fiorentina fell 2-1 to Serie A title contenders Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, with Albert Gudmundsson scoring their only goal. Raffaele Palladino’s side finished the match with 1.14-2.88 expected goals, 51% possession, and 2-11 shots on target.

Panathinaikos Form

Panathinaikos have struggled in their Greek Super League 1 campaign, picking up just seven points from their last five games and falling out of the title race. They now sit 3rd, ten points behind leaders Olympiakos.

The Greens from Athens secured a 3-2 home win over Fiorentina last week, with Karol Swiderski and Nemanja Maksimovic scoring early before Tete sealed the victory in the 55th minute.

They failed to impress last weekend, narrowly escaping with a 1-1 draw at Atromitos, as Maksimovic salvaged a stoppage-time equalizer.

Team News

Andrea Colpani and Michael Folorunsho are sidelined with injuries for Fiorentina.

As for the visitors, Erik Palmer-Brown, Facundo Pellistri and Tasos Bakasetas are unavailable due to injuries.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Fiorentina: Terracciano, Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens, Cataldi, Mandragora, Fagioli, Gudmundsson, Kean, Beltran

Panathinaikos: Dragowski, Arao, Ingason, Maksimovic, Kotsiras, Ounahi, Siopis, Mladenovic, Tete, Djuricic, Ioannidis

Verdict

Fiorentina v Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos’ recent results on the road have been disastrous. Fiorentina have the quality and experience to turn this tie around and advance to the Conference League quarterfinals.
