The New Saints are one of the weakest teams in the Conference League, so no one is surprised that they are outside the playoff zone. In the Welsh championship, the hosts are almost the undisputed champions, but now they occupy only second place in the table, four points behind Penybont. In the last round, the Saints suffered an unexpected defeat to Bala Town (0:1). In the Conference League, their only victory was over Astana (2:0). The hosts lost the rest of the matches.

Panathinaikos had a chance to advance to the main stage of the Europa League, but suffered a penalty shootout defeat from Ajax and went to the Conference League, where they managed to beat the French Lens. The team is showing an uncertain game in the group stage and is not very successful in both defense and attack. The club was unable to win a single victory in the first three matches, losing to Chelsea (1:4), Djurgården (1:2), and sharing points with Borac (1:1). Only in the last round did they manage to beat the Finnish HJK (1:0).

Andras Sporar will not play in the match due to injury. Azzedine Ounahi is in doubt.

1.88Tip and bets
The teams are simply incomparable in terms of composition. The level of the New Saints is much lower than that of one of the giants of Greek football. Panathinaikos clearly wants to get into the Conference League playoffs, so in no case should they lose points in a confrontation with a team like the New Saints. We expect a confident victory from the Greek club.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Panathinaikos for 1.50
Bet on total
The visitors are used to playing cautious football. The Greek club won most of their recent victories with a one-goal advantage. We believe that the favorite will be able to score quite quickly, and then simply play according to the score and not allow the Welsh to do anything in attack. Do not expect a goal extravaganza in this match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 2.20
Bet on corners
Panathinaikos will likely have the advantage throughout the match, which should result in the Greek team having a noticeable advantage in the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on corners at Panathinaikos for 1.90
