Marseille vs Panathinaikos Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Champions League Qualification on Tuesday, 15 August 2023.
Panathinaikos surprised the bookies in the first leg of this match-up by sealing a 1-0 win over favorites Marseille. They were values at a high 3.80 odds considering the competitive experience of Marseille in Champions League match-ups.
Going on, it was a tight match and had a goalless score till Panathinaikos’ Brazilian striker Bernard scored his first goals in the last 12 matches across all competitions. However, things wont be the same at Marseille’s turf as they have been in good control here.
Their only head to head meeting was in the first leg of this match-up which ended in a 1-0 win for Panathinaikos.
Panathinaikos’ recent away matches include a couple of friendlies and a Champions League qualification fixture against Dnipro-1. They won all those fixtures which is worth enough noting.
Meanwhile, Marseille faced decent outfits in their recent home matches. They won four of their last six away matches and had Ligue 1 opponents at the opposite side.
Considering these observations and the home advantage of Marseille, we expect a win for them against this Panathinaikos on Tuesday.
Five of the last six home matches of Marseille and two of the last three road trips of Panathinaikos had goals over 2.5 ft. In that case, we expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
Neither of these two teams have been successful in keeping a clean sheet at respective patches of late. Marseille, the one we backs here, have allowed a total of 6 goals in the last four home matches. Thus, goals are likely to come from both ends.
Marseille can easily score past Panathinaikos’ lead in the first leg. Their current display and the overall recordings with better exposure in playing the European competitions forces us to back them here.
Therefore, we like to place Marseille to win Ht/Ft as the main betting pick for this match at 2.05 odds. For the second tip, we like to place the over 2.5 goals tip at 1.90 odds.
