Prediction: 3-0
HJK
Panathinaikos will be aiming to put an end to their negative trend in the Europa Conference League when they face HJK in Athens. PAO will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Veikkausliiga outfit. Forward Fotis Ioannidis is a major doubt, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
HJK, on the other hand, have not been in action in the national championship since October 19, 2024, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home team. Helsinki boss Toni Korkeakunnas should have a full squad to choose from as his players have had enough time to recover from their respective injuries. The two sides meet for the first time ever in the competition.
Highlighted Team (Panathinaikos):
Despite being founded on 3 February, 1908, Panathinaikos won their first domestic trophy in 1930. However, they quickly established themselves as one of the biggest clubs in Greece. Oi Prasinoi clinched their 20th Greek Superleague trophy in 2010, with the team finishing the season six points clear of their fiercest rivals Olympiakos.
There have always been fireworks in meetings between the two capital clubs and the clash between the two sides is well known as the “Derby of eternal enemies”. According to UEFA Panathinaikos are the second most-popular team football team in Greece. Speaking of the club’s European success, PAO made it to the 1970/1971 European Cup (Champions League) final, but Ajax proved to be a big catch for the Greek side in the title game.
It is well known that green trifolium (shamrock) is the club’s emblem. Giorgos Karagounis, Djibril Cisse, Emmanuel Olisadebe, Paulo Sousa and Goran Vlaovic are notable footballers who played for PAO in the past. Giourkas Seitaridis, Antonis Nikopolidis, Kostas Chalkias, Angelos Basinas, Giannis Goumas and Dimitris Papdopoulos are Panathinaikos players who helped Greece win the 2004 European Championship trophy.
