Match Preview
Shakhtar Donetsk hosts Panathinaikos in the Europa League on Thursday, with the match set to take place at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in Kraków. Shakhtar enters the fixture in solid form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches (WDDDW), while Panathinaikos struggles with a winless streak of five games (DDDLL). The contrasting form suggests that Shakhtar will be the more confident side, especially given their recent performances. A notable aspect of this matchup is the historical head-to-head record, which heavily favours Shakhtar. In their last ten encounters, they have not lost to Panathinaikos, with no wins for the Greek side and only two draws. Furthermore, the absence of goals in these meetings indicates a potential for a low-scoring affair. With odds of 1.7 for a Shakhtar win and 1.95 for over 2.5 goals, bettors might consider the likelihood of a tight contest, potentially leaning towards a Shakhtar victory without significant goal action.
