A proper tie in UCL with two of the second tier of big guns going head to head. A few years back Panathinaikos v Club Brugge would have been a group stage match up but the sides have dropped a level or so recently. Panathinaikos are 20 times Greek champions but have not taken the title since 2010 after a few financial problems.  They finished 2nd last year in the regular season and then won the CL playoff round also.  The side is packed with quality though but should have enough for these early rounds – whether they can take that into the group stages and beyond is a doubt though. Overall European experience is vast with 267 matches. They have 94 wins, 65 draws and 108 losses.  The Greeks are given a ranking of 100 which seems low but represents their recent poor form. Last year at this very stage they beat Belgium champions Liege 2-1 on aggregate before failing at Midtjylland (Den) next round. The year before they beat Motherwell (Sco) and Malaga (Spa) before failing to exit the group stages of Europa League. Club Brugge of Belgium are quite similar in overall out look to the home side. A regular in UCL group stages and beyond in the late 90s early 00s but then a fall on hard times. They are ranked higher at UEFA at 51. They hold 13 league titles but surprisingly none since 2005. They have 275 games with 137 wins, 57 draws and 94 losses. They did well last year and reached the quarter finals of Europa League. Beating on the way Brondy (Den) and Grasshopper (Swi) – they passed a group with Torino (Ita) HJK (Fin) and Copenhagen (Den) before knocking out AaB (Den) and Besiktas (Tur) before falling to Dnipro (Ukr) -  However the year before they fell at the 1st hurdle – losing to Slask (Pol) to give some perspective. They have played 1 league match so far this season and lost that to small club St Truiden.


A tough game for both sides in what will be a raucous Athens cauldron. Very evenly matched tie but for me I think at home Pana will have the better of this 1st leg. It’s too tough to call over the qualification as I believe both sides will win at home. Take Panathinaikos at 0 at 4-5 or 1.80.

 

Bet Panathinaikos at 0 at 1.80 or 4-5 with bet365.
