CSKA 1948 vs Panathinaikos
📖 The Preview
Right, so these two go into the second leg level at 1-1, which means Panathinaikos just need to nick a goal to put CSKA under real pressure. And the Greeks have been the stronger side historically, winning two of their three previous meetings. Their recent form also looks better across the last few games, and the bookies back them at 46% to go through. CSKA will contribute, mind you, both teams are expected to score, but Panathinaikos look sharp enough to edge it 2-1 on the night and advance.
