On Thursday, Slavia will enter the third round of the Conference Europa League, welcoming Panathinaikos of Greece, who dominated the domestic cup, at home. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Slavia had a very successful summer preparation for the new season, they easily managed the second preliminary round against St. Joseph’s, scoring eleven goals, but then in their league debut they lost to Hradec Králové 0:1.

Panathinaikos shone surprisingly well in the preparation, not losing even once in five matches. They had very valuable goalless draws against Bayer Leverkusen and Watford, who were still playing in the English Premier League last year.

Slavia relies on Yiru Sora in Europe, the Nigerian winger scored twice against St. Joseph’s, last year he was the third top scorer in the Conference League. The summer signing Ewerton or the talented Moses Usor also had a good summer preparation.

The mainstay of the visitors is Sebastián Palacios, the Argentine right winger scored thirteen goals last year and assisted on four more. Carlitos also did well, the Spanish spike striker opened the net twelve times.

Slavia relies on a solid defense, scoring more than once in only one of the last seven games.

However, the defensive form of Panathinaikos cannot be matched, as the latter has scored a single goal in its last eleven games.

Considering Slavia’s experience in European games and the Yira Sor factor in the Conference League, I think the Susians will win.
