Panathinaikos – Dnipro-1 : Preview & Prediction
Panathinaikos took a big step towards qualifying for the semi-finals after a 1-3 win in Kosice against the Ukrainian club. Pana scored 3 goals through Sporar, Djuricic and Ionnidis. The Greeks pulled off the perfect coup after completing a successful friendly campaign with 5 wins and 1 draw from 7 duels. Pana’s only defeat came against Spanish club Rayo Vallecano (0-1) on July 18. Dnipro-1 lost none of their preparatory matches (4 wins and 1 draw), only losing to Kryvbas (2-2) on July 18. Dnipro-1’s last official away trip ended in a 3-0 rout at Shakhtar Donetsk on May 28. This trip to Athens is likely to be a long road to the cross for the Ukrainians, who are heavily handicapped after losing their first match (1-3) and could go down at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on August 1. Pana are in a strong position.
