Match preview: Panathinaikos vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Panathinaikos and Shakhtar Donetsk will clash at the Stadio Apostolos Nikolaidis for the European League (Qualification Round 3). According to our information, there are no recent encounters between these two teams. In this match, the home advantage could play a critical role since Panathinaikos has shown a significant disparity in their home and away performances.

Team analysis: Panathinaikos

The home side is keen to kick off their European League campaign positively, leveraging their home advantage. They have been particularly strong at home, with 12 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 15 matches at the stadium. They come into this match after a 1-1 draw with Rangers. Despite defensive issues—having conceded at least one goal in their last 10 games—their attack has been productive, scoring in 8 of the last 10 matches. In recent times, they have struggled to recover when conceding first, turning around only once out of seven instances. Notable is their habit of conceding 8 of their 18 home goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.

Under Rui Vitória, the team typically plays a 4-3-3 formation, prioritising quick transitions, particularly down the wings. Upfront, Facundo Pellistri, Fotis Ioannidis, and Filip Djuricic are key attacking players, while Georgios Kyriakopoulos provides width and pace up the left side. Unfortunately, Kyriakopoulos will be unavailable due to injury for this match.

Team analysis: Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar Donetsk has maintained a solid performance on the road, with 8 wins, 6 draws, and just a single loss in their last 30 away games. They secured a victory against EpitSentr Dunayivtsi (0-1) in their previous match. In their last 10 away games, Shakhtar has managed 7 wins and 3 draws. Their defence has been commendable, conceding in only 1 of their last 4 encounters, while their attackers have found the net regularly, scoring in 3 of the last 4 games in this competition. Overall, their matches tend to feature fewer goals, with 12 out of their last 25 games finishing with fewer than 1.5 goals.

Shakhtar arrives in this match following a 0-1 win. Their previous success against Besiktas in the preceding round also secures their place in this part of the European League. Playing in a 3-4-3 formation, they focus on exploiting flanks to add speed to their match. The attacking trio of Alisson, Kauã Elias, and Kevin will put the home defence to the test, while Pedro Henrique is crucial on the left, stretching the play whenever they press forward. However, Vinicius Tobias is unavailable due to suspension.
