-----------------------------------
Panathinaikos faces a tough challenge as they try to recover from a two-goal loss to Rangers in the upcoming second leg of their Champions League qualifier. Rangers showed strong form with a 2-0 win against Shamrock in the previous match, putting them close to advancing to the next round.
Team Analysis:
Panathinaikos qualified for the Champions League after finishing second in their league, just ahead of PAOK. They had an uneven pre-season with mixed results and struggled in their first-leg match against Rangers, losing 2-0 and controlling only a small share of possession. Despite this, they managed several shots on goal.
Rangers, meanwhile, are in good form, undefeated in their last eight games under new manager Russell Martin, who has won his only competitive match so far. Rangers dominated possession in the first leg and will aim to maintain their strong performance in the upcoming second leg.
Player Situation:
Panathinaikos will likely miss Anastasios Bakasetas due to injury and Giorgos Vagiannidis because of suspension. Their attacking lineup may include Pellistri, Duricic, Ioannidis, and Mancini. For Rangers, Finlay Curtis, who has been scoring consistently, is expected to start, supported by Danilo, Gassama, and a midfield featuring Raskin, Rothwell, and Diomande.
Result Prediction:
Panathinaikos will try to leverage their home advantage for a tighter contest, but Rangers' strong first-leg performance makes them the favorite to win again.
Predicted Result: Panathinaikos 1-2 Rangers.
