Botev Plovdiv vs Panathinaikos PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 01/08/2024

A spot in the Europa League third qualifying round will be at stake when Botev Plovdiv and Panathinaikos square off against each other at Stadion Hristo Botev on Thursday evening. Alen Korosec scored a vital away goal in a 2-1 loss to Panathinaikos in Athens, but the Bulgarians still need a big win in the return leg if they are to advance to the round 3. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but Cameroon midfielder James Eto’o is one yellow card away from suspension.

PAO, on the other hand, are eager to defend their slim lead in Bulgaria. Therefore, we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in the reverse fixture. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Panathinaikos summer signing Nemanja Maksimovic is pushing for his first start after coming as a substitute in the first leg.
