It is Viktoria Plzen’s turn to host Panathinaikos, as the two meet in the return leg of their Europa League knockout playoff. They are vying for a last 16 slot, and this tie is currently poised at 2-2. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
Last week in Greece, Plzen led but were pegged back and had to search for the equalizer in the end. Among the heavy costs of the game was a yellow card to Merchas Doski, which means he is suspended for this match.
Plzen still failed to beat Sparta Prague in their latest outing; they drew 0-0. That was their ninth unbeaten outing, but four of those were draws.
The hosts might have up to 10 players out with either injury or suspension. Panathinaikos are facing the same scenario, just that their list is longer.
About 15 players are unavailable for the visitors, who conceded late in the first leg to see their slim advantage slashed. The Greeks will, however, bank on Andrews Tetteh’s form here, with the forward netting three times in the last two outings.
Ahead of this game, Panathinaikos beat OFI Crete 2-0 in the Greek topflight. They come here unbeaten in three matches, but two were drawn.
In their last away match in UEL, Panathinaikos drew, and their previous two meetings with Plzen also ended in draws.

Our Viktoria Plzen vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction
These two sides are ravaged by injuries, and their capacity to play to their full potential is therefore clipped. They are going into their third meeting, and both earlier clashes between them ended in draws.
With their lengthy injury lists and suspension, the strategy for either team would probably be to hold on as much as possible. Attack may be sacrificed and could lead to it being decided on penalties. Our prediction for Viktoria Plzen v Panathinaikos is for a draw at 90 minutes.
