Panathinaikos vs Plzen Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

Winner in Malmö 0-1 and against Sturm Graz 2-1, Rafael Benitez's 14th-placed Panathinaikos shifted into high gear after having scored one win and two defeats at the start of the campaign. He now finds himself one point from the top 8 qualifying for the round of 16. The Greek team also blows hot and cold in the Championship. Beaten at the end of November by AEK 2-3, it takes its place at the gates of the top 5 before traveling on Sunday to a poorly ranked team, AEL Larissa. You can also have 9 points after 5 matches and make a better impression than Panathinaikos.

The Viktoria Plzen 13th is the perfect example. Still undefeated 2 wins, 3 draws, the eighth finalist leaving the competition remains on points sharing with Fenerbahçe 0-0 and Friborg 0-0 after having scored a big blow in October on the pitch of AS Rome 1-2. He especially puts himself at the forefront with his 2 small goals conceded, making him the co-best defense of the league phase. The Czech club prepared for this match on the 6th day with a victory against Mlada Boleslav 2-1 and a trip to Slovacko in the Championship. 

Pana is playing the league phase without the important defender Jedvaj, the German Max (no match) in the same sector, the midfielders Vilhena and Niklas or even Dessers, Mancini, Jeremejeff and Kyriopoulos up front. Rafael Benitez could also set up his group without Lafont (on loan from Nantes) who can play the leading roles in goal, full-back Kyriakopoulos (holder), Renato Sanches (midfield) and winger Pellistri, not spared by injuries. Polish international Swiderski is the team's top scorer in this league phase with 4 goals. Zaroury (on loan from Lens, 3 goals in C3) and important midfielder Chirivella (ex Nantes) will also likely be on deck.

 Plzen are expected to travel to Greece without injured defender Paluska (starter) and long-term absentee Panos, while Kopic (no matches) and experienced Hejda are not through to the league stage. The formidable Vydra (9 goals in all competitions), Adu (7 TCC goals) and Durosinmi (12 goals including 2 in C3) will have the mission of closing the club's series of two games without scoring in the Europa League. The central players Dweh and Jemelka will also be present, guarantors of the defensive solidity of Viktoria Plzen. 

• Summary: Panathinaikos is going head to head with Viktoria Plzeň starting on 11 Dec 2025 at 20:00 UTC at Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium stadium, Athens city, Greece. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa League .
