Panathinaikos’ start to the season wasn’t the best; it culminated in elimination from the Champions League. Attention shifts to the Europa League when they face Shakhtar Donetsk in the third qualifying round. The first leg match in this tie will be hosted by Panathinaikos, and below is our prediction.
The Greek giants haven't managed a win yet this season. In the second qualifying round of the Champions League, they fell 2-0 at Rangers and could only manage a draw at home.
They are now on a run of three winless games, and their last four matches in Europe also failed to produce a win.
Shakhtar Donetsk are on a superb run ahead of this match. They are not only winning their games but also keeping clean sheets in them.
Right ahead of this one, they beat Epitsentr 1-0 for their fourth clean sheet in the last five matches. The Ukrainian giants haven't lost any of their last 12 competitive matches. That is stretching back to last season.
Heading to this one, Arda Turan’s side humiliated Besiktas, winning their two-legger 6-2. In the home leg the Ukrainians kept a clean sheet, and away from home they scored four times.
Shakhtar have now conceded just twice in their last four Europa League matches.

Our Panathinaikos Athens vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
Panathinaikos failed to score in their last home Europa League match, which also ended in defeat. The Greek giants will be under pressure here even as they play at home. They’ve already fallen out of the Champions League and will be hoping to avoid the same in the Europa League.
However, there aren’t many guarantees, seeing as Shakhtar are not just doing well in terms of wins but are also solid defensively. Our prediction for Panathinaikos v Shakhtar Donetsk is for Shakhtar to win to nil.
