Prediction: 0-2
Panathinaikos
Expect and electrifying atmosphere at Gradski stadion Banja Luka when Borac Banja Luka and Panathinaikos lock horns in their Conference League opener. Borac booked their place in the league phase following a loss to Ferencvaros in the Europa League double-header and they face yet another difficult task against the famous Greek outfit. The good news for the hosts is that forward Jovo Lukic has overcome his injury.
PAO, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to AEK Athens. As Panathinaikos are a more experienced side than Borac Banja Luka, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Filip Djuricic and Co. Daniel Mancini is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as well as Uruguay rising star Facundo Pellistri. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
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.
