In form Paksi host an out of sorts Panathinaikos, making the visitors' superior pedigree a safer bet than an outright win.
The other marquee tie of the round pits Hungarian side Paksi against Greek heavyweights Panathinaikos, a genuine clash of form against pedigree. Panathinaikos boast a bigger budget, deeper squad and far greater European experience, and on paper they are clear favourites to advance. The complication is that the Greeks have hit a rough patch, drawing and losing more than winning recently and struggling for goals, while Paksi are formidable at home, unbeaten in a large majority of their recent fixtures at the Paksi Stadion and averaging strong attacking numbers there. That combination makes a comfortable away win far from certain in the first leg, and the hosts have the belief to take something. Panathinaikos should still carry the greater individual quality when it matters, but the draw no bet line protects against a Paksi upset while backing the superior side. With both teams likely to score, the goals angles add value in what should be a competitive opener.

Paksi are strong at home and Panathinaikos have been out of form, so an upset or draw is a real possibility despite the Greeks' superior pedigree.
Yes, Panathinaikos are favourites on squad quality and European experience, but recent poor form and Paksi's home record narrow the gap.
Both sides carry a threat and Paksi score freely at home, so both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are appealing angles.
