Panathinaikos vs Paksi: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Athens club had a mediocre previous season. With several coaching changes, they finished fourth both in the regular season and in the "championship group." In the summer, preparing for a new campaign, they mostly won—only suffering a loss to Rapid, albeit a heavy one, 1-4.
The team from Paksi finished third in the penultimate championship and managed to hold on to these positions in the following season. The new cycle began with a match against Ferencváros, where they surprisingly secured a spectacular 4-2 victory.
In Hungary, the visitors scored at the end of the first and the beginning of the second half. Only after that did the hosts manage to score their sole goal, which at least kept some intrigue in this pairing.
