Djurgarden vs Panathinaikos Prediction & Betting Tips (7 November)

24th in this Conference League, Djurgarden started its campaign by taking a good point on the lawn of LASK Linz 2-2 before losing, at home, against Vitoria Guimaraes 1-2. On the national scene, the Swedes close their championship next weekend. They are currently 4th in the ranking and are 1 point behind 3rd place, the last qualifying seat for the preliminary rounds of the next C4. Slowing down for some time, Djurgarden has only won once in the last 5 days and remains on the back of a setback suffered at poorly ranked Halmstad last weekend 1-0. Eager to advance to the next phase of the Conference League, Panathinaikos got off to a bad start. Indeed, the Athens-based team had to settle for sharing points at Borac Banja Luka 1-1 before being defeated at home by the competition's favorite Chelsea 1-4.

Champion of Greece for the last time in 2010, Panathinaikos is not experiencing the best period in its history. This season, the teammates of the former Marseillais Ounahi occupy 6th place in the ranking with 5 units of expenditure on 1st place. Undefeated in the last 4 days, 2 wins and 2 draws, they are moving forward at the moment despite performances that are not always convincing. After holding off the leader, Aris Salonika 1-1, at home, Panathinaikos won in Volos last weekend 0-1.

Several elements are missing for Djurgarden this week. These are goalkeeper No. 1 Rinne , potential starting defenders Johansson and Stahl as well as important midfielder Schüller, all on the flank. The Turkish Hummet (12 goals and 4 assists in the league) is the main offensive asset of this formation. Norwegian attacking midfielders Gulliksen (5 goals and 5 assists in the league) and Nguen (6 goals and 4 assists in the league) are not to be outdone. Panathinaikos remains without long-time absent defender Magnusson, injured.

On the other hand, absent during the last Conference League match , striker Ioannidis has since returned to the field. Excellent last year, the Greek international is however less effective this season (0 goals in the league). Former Lyonnais Tete is the club's joint top scorer in the league with Serbian Djuricic (4 goals). The winger passed by Manchester United Pellistri (1 goal in C4) is available as are the midfielders Ounahi and Bakasetas.
