Panathinaikos Athens v Chelsea Betting Tips [24 October 2024]

Right after their third loss of the season, Chelsea will travel to Athens to take on Panathinaikos in the Conference League. The two sides had contrasting results in Match Day 1 action, The Blues winning at home as Panathinaikos drew away. 

Let’s look at the prediction as the two sides clash. Panathinaikos were rightly disappointed by their 1-1 draw with Bosnian side Borac. They scored early through Anastasios Bakasetas but let it slip in the second half. 

Heading into Match Day 2, they’ll put a lot of hope on their home form, having gone unbeaten in the last four matches. They won three of those.

Chelsea started their league phase campaign with a 4-2 win over Gent. Renato Veiga and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored their first goals for the club in that win. 

In between those strikes Pedro Neto and Christopher Nkunku also scored. Enzo Maresca’s charges have, however, failed to win any of the two matches that came after that. 

The most recent was at Liverpool, in the Premier League, which ended in a 2-1 defeat. That loss was Chelsea’s third this season and they will be keen to avoid a second straight loss. 

Chelsea have a six-match unbeaten record against Greek sides, which should add to their confidence.

Chelsea returned to Europe on a high, starting their league phase assignments on a winning note. They will be keen to extend the same here despite having a troubled times away from home. A good run against Greek teams will lift their confidence going into this match.

It will also come as a positive for Chelsea that their opponents haven't done well in matches against English sides previously. Our prediction for Panathinaikos v Chelsea, therefore, is for Chelsea to win.
