Chelsea kicked off their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign with a comfortable 4-2 victory over Gent. On the other hand, despite being the favourites, Panathinaikos had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Borac Banja Luka in their season opener.
The hosts have struggled to find their best form of late, winning only two of their last seven matches in all competitions.
With that in mind, Chelsea are the expected winners at 4/7 (1.57). Teams with these odds generally have a 63.6% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer has arguably been Chelsea's best player this season. The former Manchester City midfielder has 11 direct goal involvements in his last eight appearances for the club across all competitions. Interestingly, Palmer has not scored nor registered an assist in his last three games for club and country. He will fancy his chances against Panathinaikos on Thursday evening.
