Panathinaikos vs Dnipro-1 Predictions

• Panathinaikos won the first leg 3-1
• Dnipro-1 have lost six of their last 11 European games
• The visitors were beaten home and away in Europa League qualifying last term

Hosts heading through

Panathinaikos are looking good for a place in the next round of the Champions League qualifiers, as they took a 3-1 aggregate lead in their away trip last week. The hosts are favourites to claim a win on Tuesday night, so it would be a shock if Dnipro-1 took anything from this clash, never mind them producing any kind of turnaround.

Holding a first leg lead can be tricky for home sides, who face pressure to get forward alongside the temptation to hold on to what they have. However, it’s hard to make much of a case for the visitors holding firm in this trip.

Greens to cruise through

Panathinaikos haven’t made it to the Champions League group stage since 2010, but last season saw them make it into the top two domestically for the first time in eight years. They’ll hope that’s the sign of a turnaround, especially as they exited the Conference League early in last season’s qualifiers.

Dnipro-1 have been around since only 2017 and last season’s European campaign brought five defeats in 10 games, losing home and away in the Europa League qualifiers. Based off their 3-1 first-leg defeat, another loss looms for the visitors.
