Panathinaikos vs Fiorentina Prediction

Panathinaikos started their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign badly but eventually squeezed through in the top 24, and that sort of pattern was represented in their knockout playoff tie, too, as they face a Fiorentina side that have collapsed since Christmas.

That aforementioned UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoff round tie last month, Panathinaikos lost 2-1 in the first-leg to Vikingur Reykjavik in Iceland before dramatically overturning that deficit with a 2-0 win in the second-leg, the second goal coming deep into second-half stoppage-time via Brazilian winger Tete.

Fiorentina were fighting on all three fronts at Christmas but I Viola have now not only collapsed away from the Serie A title race but actually outside of the top six, as well as suffering elimination from the Coppa Italia. They most recently did manage to unconvincingly edge past a struggling Lecce side by a goal to nil at the Artemio Franchi at the weekend.

Fiorentina are in a bit of trouble at the moment and Panathinaikos have been strong in Athens this season so siding with the hosts for this first-leg looks the way to go this week.
