Stats

Panathinaikos have won 9 of their last 11 home matches.
Vikingur Reykjavik have lost their last 2 away matches.

HTH

Last week’s clash in Iceland was the first head to head meeting between these two sides.

The game was won by Vikingur Reykjavik 2-1.

Panathinaikos Form

Panathinaikos had a disastrous run in early February, suffering three back to back defeats in three competitions.

They were beaten by Olympiakos 1-0 in the Greek Cup, followed with a 2-0 loss at Aris in the Super League. The third and most recent loss was seen in Iceland to Vikingur Reykjavik 2-1, Fotis Ioannidis converting a late penalty.

Last weekend, PAO returned to winning ways in the Greek top flight by defeating Volos NFC 2-1. Sverrir Ingason broke the deadlock 20 minutes in, while Adam Gnezda Cerin doubled the lead in the second half.

Vikingur Reykjavik Form

Vikingur Reykjavik had a decent run in the Conference League group stages, collecting eight points in six matches (two wins, two draws and two defeats) and ending as 19th.

They allowed possession to Panathinaikos in last week’s tie and struck twice through counterattacks, David Atlason and Matthias Vilhjalmsson appearing on the scoresheet.

Their best Conference League performances were seen at home against Cercle Brugge 3-1 and Borac Banja Luka 2-0. Draws were registered against Noah 0-0 and LASK Linz 1-1, while losing to Djurgarden 2-1 and Omonia Nicosia 4-0.

Team News

Home manager Rui Vitoria can’t count on injured Tin Jedvaj, Erik Palmer-Brown, Anastasious Bakasetas and Facundo Pellistri.

Recently-appointed Vikingur’s manager Solvi Ottesen has full squad at his disposal.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Panathinaikos: Lodygin, Kotsiras, Mladenovic, Ingason, Max, Maksimovic, Gnezda Cerin, Ounahi, Tete, Djuricic, Ioannidis

Vikingur: Jonsson, Atalson, Andrason, Ekroth, Sigurdsson, Ibrahimagic, Agnarsson, Ingimundarson, Thordarson, Sigurpalsson, Hansen

Verdict

Panathinaikos v Vikingur Reykjavik

Panathinaikos have the experience and quality on their side. They undeservedly lost the first tie last week and I expect them to win to nil in front of the home crowd.
