Panathinaikos vs Slavia Prague prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers 2022–23

Panathinaikos and Slavia Prague go head-to-head in the second leg of their Europa Conference League third-round clash on Thursday.

The hosts will be looking to mount a memorable comeback after the Czech outfit picked up a 2-0 victory in last week’s first leg.

Panathinaikos suffered a huge blow in their hunt for a place in the Conference League as they fell to a 2-0 first-leg loss against Slavia Prague in the third-round of the qualifiers.

This followed a solid pre-season campaign where they picked up two wins and three draws from their five friendlies.

Panathinaikos have now returned to home turf where they are currently unbeaten in nine straight competitive games, claiming eight wins and one draw since January’s 1-0 loss against Asteras Tripolis.

Meanwhile, Slavia Prague picked up their first win of the 2022-23 Czech 1. Liga campaign when they saw off Fastav Zlín 4-1 last time out.

This followed a somewhat disappointing 1-0 loss against Hradec Králové in the league opener on July 31.

Slavia Prague have now turned their sights to the Conference League, where they have enjoyed a perfect campaign so far, winning three straight games while scoring 13 goals and keeping three clean sheets.
