Panathinaikos vs Vikingur Prediction and Betting Tips | February 20th 2025

Action returns in the UEFA Europa Conference League as Panathinaikos and Vikingur lock horns in the second leg of their knockout-stage playoff clash on Thursday. Rui Vitoria’s men are unbeaten in their last 12 home games and will be looking to extend this impressive streak as they aim to overturn their first-leg deficit.

Panathinaikos returned to winning ways at the weekend as they edged out Volos 2-1 at the Athens Olympic Stadium in their Greek Super League clash. Before that, Vitoria’s side were on a run of three consecutive defeats, including a 2-1 loss against Vikingur in the first leg of their Conference League knockout-stage tie in Iceland last Thursday.

Following last week’s disappointment, Panathinaikos will fancy themselves to turn things around in the Conference League as they have won all but one of their last eight matches in all competitions since mid-December.

As for Vikingur, Davíd Örn Atlason and Matthías Vilhjálmsson were both on target to hand them a first-leg advantage over Panathinaikos in their Conference League knockout-stage clash last time out.

With that result, Solvi Geir’s men have won three games on the spin, including a 2-0 victory over HK Kópavogur in the curtain-raiser of the 2025 Iceland League Cup.

However, Vikingur will need to be at their best at the Athens Olympic Stadium on Thursday as they have failed to win any of their five away matches in all competitions since the start of November.
