Game Preview
A big hit for the hosts is Fotsis Ioannidis’ injury. The star forward and the most expensive player on the Green side is injured, and he won’t be available against the Blues. PAO’s most recent event was against OFI in Crete, and they won 0-1.
The last four matches Greenes had were all with under 2.5 goals. Until the triumph in Crete, they hadn’t won for three straight, losing to AEK, before posting ties in Banja Luka and against their nemesis, Olympiacos.
Chelsea lost to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. They had their share of chances in this match, but in the end, it was 2-1 for the Reds, who weren’t better than Marseca’s unit—we need to say that.
The Blues’ defense again allowed a goal, the seventh time in the recent ten matches. Though they scored in each of the previous ten appearances, and for the moment, the strong offense covers up problems in the back line.
Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea Head-to-Head
There haven’t been any games between these two clubs so far.
Panathinaikos vs. Chelsea Prediction
Even though PAO is a tough and robust team, its defense can’t compete with Chelsea’s offense. Therefore, we pick the guests to win, no matter the lineup on the field.
