FK Qabala vs Panathinaikos Betting Tips

FK Qabala have won all three of their home ties in Europa League qualification so far, against Dinamo Tbilisi, Cukaricki and Apollon respectively, and so they will need to be respected.

They currently sit top of the Azerbaijani Premier Division too, albeit after two games, and their 5,000 capacity home stadium will be something of a novelty for a Panathinaikos side more used to playing in front of lively crowds of 15,000 plus.

The Greek side lost their Champions League qualification clash with Club Brugge 4-2 on aggregate – including a 3-0 hammering away from home, but should have the quality to see off their opponents here.

They have yet to start their league campaign and so a yardstick of their current form is hard to come by, but even so a side containing the likes of Michael Essien, Daniel Pranjic and Sotiris Ninis should have too much firepower for their hosts.

As we’ve seen from the international side on many occasions, Greek teams are always well organised defensively, and that should provide the foundation for a hard-earned victory here. So add the Panathinaikos/Draw Double Chance to your Thursday night acca, with the 2-0 scoreline at 9/1 with bet365 looking great value.
