Fiorentina vs Panathinaikos predictions: Visitors to hold their own
Key stats

- Panathinaikos won the first leg of this tie at home.

- The first leg of this tie was a five-goal thriller.
Correct score prediction: Fiorentina 2-2 Panathinaikos
Despite being the favourites, Fiorentina's recent form does not inspire much confidence. Raffaele Palladino's troops are coming off back-to-back defeats and have lost five of their last six matches.
Panathinaikos have fared better than their hosts, losing only once in their last six matches. Keeping in mind that they defeated Fiorentina last week, we are confident that the Greek Super League giants will be able to hold their own for 90 minutes.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Fiorentina are clear favourites
- HOME: 3/5 (1.60) – 62.5%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Panathinaikos head into this clash with a one-goal advantage after their 3-2 victory in the first leg. Rui Vitoria’s men have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks, winning four of their last six games (D1, L1).
On the other hand, last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Napoli was Fiorentina's fifth loss in six games. The hosts will need to overturn a one-goal deficit at Stadio Artemio Franchi, where they won three of their last four games.
With that in mind, Fiorentina are the expected winners at 3/5 (1.60). Teams with these odds usually have a 62.5% probability of winning.

This will be the second encounter between these sides. Fiorentina suffered a 3-2 defeat in the first leg last week.
Fiorentina preview: Eyeing a third successive quarter-final appearance in this competition
Long-term absentee midfielder Edoardo Bove is still expected to be unavailable for this game alongside Andrea Colpani and Michael Folorunsho due to injuries, as Fiorentina look to overturn a one-goal deficit in front of their fans.
However, these injury setbacks will likely not deter the hosts, who have an impressive record of reaching back-to-back finals in this competition and have not lost at home in their last 11 European fixtures (W8, D3).
Predicted lineup: Terracciano (GK), Moreno, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Dodo, Fagioli, Mandragora, Richardson, Gosens, Beltran & Kean.

Panathinaikos preview: Plagued by injuries
The injury gods have been unkind to Panathinaikos as captain Giannis Kotsiras became the latest victim during the first leg of this encounter.
Expected to miss this clash due to injury for the visitors are Facundo Pellistri, Georgios Karakasidis, Dimitris Limnios, Giorgos Nikas, Erik Palmer-Brown, Bart Schenkeveld, Zeca, Anastasios Bakasetas, Ruben Perez, Hordur Magnusson and Giannis Kotsiras.
Another worry for Rui Vitoria's side should be the team's away form, as they have not registered any win in their last seven skirmishes on the road (D3, L4), even though they only need a draw at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday to go through.
Predicted lineup: Dragowski (GK), Arao, Ingason, Mladenovic, Maksimovic, Siopis, Ounahi, Vagiannidis, Tete, Swiderski & Duricic.

Player to watch: Nemanja Maksimovic
Nemanja Maksimovic was impressive in the first leg of this tie, registering a goal and an assist. The former Valencia player has scored in back-to-back games and will look to extend that run to three matches.
