Fiorentina vs Panathinaikos Prediction & Tips
Fiorentina
The club, even under the previous coach Vincenzo Italiano, became a regular in this tournament. In both 2023 and 2024 they managed to reach the final of the tournament, but suffered defeats there. In Serie A, the players finished eighth simultaneously. Since the summer, Palladino has been working in Florence. Under him, the team plays unsteadily, in spurts. The fans hope that now there is a chance to fight even for fourth place, although they could also finish ninth.
In the Conference League, the Italians also had a difficult start. In the qualification against the ‘Puskás Academy’, they drew twice, which led to penalties. But then they won four times with only one defeat against APOEL and a 1-1 draw with ‘Vitória Guimarães’ already in December. Finally, the playoffs started from the round of 16. In Greece, they came back from 0-2 down, but eventually lost.
Panathinaikos
The team is still considered a historic great of Greek football. However, it has been more than a decade since they last won a new championship title. At least last spring they won another national cup. This season, by the way, has not started well. Even in the new edition of the cup, the club was already eliminated, losing to ‘Olympiacos’, and they also lose against them and AEK in the championship.
As the winner of the national cup, the Athens representative started in the summer in the Europa League. But, after passing to ‘Botev’, the team faced ‘Ajax’. Although they lost 0-1 at home, they fought with the Dutch until the end: they won in Amsterdam, and were only eliminated in a penalty shoot-out series record for its length. In the Conference League, they overcame ‘Lens’ in the decisive qualifying round. And, after a bad start in the main phase (one point in three rounds), they went on to win three times. Against ‘Vikingur Reykjavik’ they also started 1-2 in Iceland, then won 2-0 at home. And they beat the Italians – now they can play for the draw away from home.
