Panathinaikos vs Rangers

Rangers are aiming to build on a 2-0 lead when they travel to Panathinaikos for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier.

The Greeks will be desperate to overturn that deficit and are likely to play on the front foot. This could make for an open contest, and both teams have the attacking quality to ensure there are goals in this one.

Panathinaikos News

Panathinaikos will feel they should have come away with something from the first leg, having held their own form much of the encounter. They had multiple chances to score but struggled to find their cutting edge in attack.

That result maintains a poor run for Panathinaikos, who are winless in four of their last five matches across all competitions. However, they often do well on home soil and have won five of their last six matches in front of their fans.

Panathinaikos often struggle at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in two of their last three matches, which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Rangers News

It was a solid performance from Rangers in the first leg as they overcame a drab first half to earn the win. Goals after the break from Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama were enough to give them the advantage.

The Scottish side are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions, although only three of those fixtures have been wins. Russell Martin’s team are also unbeaten in nine of their last 10 away matches, with the last two ending in draws.

Rangers often look solid going forward, although their open style often leaves them exposed at the back. They have scored and conceded in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Rangers and Panathinaikos have picked up one win each with three draws from five previous matches. The Scottish side's 2-0 victory in the first leg was the most recent meeting.

Verdict

Panathinaikos v Rangers

Rangers often look sharp in attack while also struggling at the back and have scored and conceded in nine of their last 10 away matches. With an open contest expected here, a similar outcome could be on the cards.

Both efforts came after the break in the first leg, and the second half could be backed to produce more second-half goals on Wednesday.
