Panathinaikos vs CSKA Sofia

Panathinaikos host CSKA Sofia at the Olympic Stadium in Athens on Thursday in the third round of the Conference League league phase, with the home side sitting top of the table. The Greeks have won both of their games so far, scoring seven and conceding two for six points. They have also won their last five matches in all competitions, which gives them the kind of run any visitor would want to interrupt. CSKA Sofia are 23rd on one point, with three goals scored and four conceded. Their last five matches read two wins, two draws and a defeat, and their most recent European outing was a 2-2 draw away to Nordsjaelland. Jacob Neestrup's side have not yet won in the league phase. The sources we read gave no key players and no injury or suspension news for either squad. The bookmakers make Panathinaikos clear favourites, with CSKA priced at 6.00 to win. Our prediction: 2-1
