Djurgarden vs Panathinaikos Prediction: Three Points for the Greeks On the Road

Prediction for the Conference League match between Djurgarden vs Panathinaikos, which will take place on November 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Jurgarden is a seasoned team that has claimed the Swedish championship 12 times. However, they have only secured the title once in the past two decades. That was in 2019, and things haven't been the same since. Last year, the team came fourth in the national championship and is currently sitting in the same position this time, too. The Swedish team started their journey to the UEFA Conference League in the second qualifying round, which meant they had to beat three opponents. They managed to get through this challenge, and in the opening round, they drew with LASK 2:2 but then lost to Vitoria 1:2.

Panathinaikos has a similar story. They've won the Greek championship 20 times, but the last title came in the 2009/10 season. Last year, the visitors finished fourth and went straight to the UEFA Conference League playoff round. They defeated Lens 3:2 to earn a ticket for their place on the tournament's main stage. They drew with Borac Banja Luka 1:1 in the opening round but then lost to Chelsea 1:4. On top of that, the team has had mixed success in the new Greek championship so far. After ten rounds, they've gained 16 points, enough for sixth place in the standings.

Djurgarden and Panathinaikos haven't had the best start to the Conference League. They only got one point each after the first two rounds. So, the match was a great chance for them to improve their standings situation. The Greeks will come out on top in this battle. The thing is, the Stockholm representatives have been playing poorly lately. They failed three out of the last four matches and only beat Vesteros, the main outsider in the Swedish championship. Also, the visitors have a much stronger and more skillful squad.

Panathinaikos is a highly defensive team. The stats show that in their last seven games, there were only 13 goals (1.86 on average), which is pretty low. Six of those games ended with the total under (0.86 per game on average). The upcoming match is extremely important from a tournament perspective, so the teams will likely play it safe.
