Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Panathinaikos vs Roma

Panathinaikos

The Greek team has 11 points after seven matches in the Europa League main round, securing a spot in the knockout stages ahead of the final match. Panathinaikos has enjoyed a remarkable run of four consecutive matches without defeat, significantly improving its position in the table to a manageable 19th place. The team will be unable to climb significantly higher, nor will they be able to drop below 24th, meaning the hosts can enjoy their final match at home without the pressure of a decisive result. It's possible that Panathinaikos will field a new lineup for the upcoming match, and the coaching staff will give players from the closest reserve squad a chance to shine.

Roma

The Romans have completed an impressive run of four consecutive wins and moved up to sixth place in the overall standings of the Europa League main stage heading into the final round. Gian Piero Gasperini's men have set themselves the goal of directly advancing to the Round of 16, so it's crucial for them to remain in the top eight after their upcoming away match. There's no doubting Roma's motivation: they'll arrive in Greece looking for three points and will try to play from a position of strength, creating chances in front of the opposition goal. Under certain circumstances, even a draw could allow the visitors to remain in the top eight.

A victory in this Europa League main round match will guarantee Roma a top-eight finish, meaning they should expect a lively performance from the visitors. Panathinaikos has already accomplished all its goals in the current season and is unlikely to perform at their best. Roma also has no reason to crush their opponents, so it's doubtful this match will be high-scoring, given the teams' low scoring record this season. A promising bet is on Total Under 2.5 goals at 1.85.
