On Thursday, the UEFA Europa League Round-of-16 tie between Real Betis and Panathinaikos will conclude at Estadio de La Cartuja, where the hosts will be hoping to make up for the single-goal defeat that they encountered in the Greek capital of Athens a week ago. During the first leg, things didn't exactly go the way of the team that reached the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season, but they were far from outplayed, and they only lost by a goal, so they're still well in this.
Rafa Benitez's men would've likely hoped to secure a bigger lead ahead of this trip to the Spanish city of Seville, but given that they were down to ten men after 59 minutes of the first leg, they won't be too disappointed to have stolen victory. The question is can they keep things tight and hit on the break against a team that is typically strong at home? We'll soon find out.

Our Betis vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction
Sure, the Betis boys came unstuck in Athens a week ago, but they really should fancy themselves to turn things around in front of a home crowd in Seville. One home-team player who looks likely to do some damage, or at least more likely than the early odds suggest, is Antony, who is Real Betis' top scorer in the Europa League this season.
The Brazilian, who has scored four goals in this competition, looked lively in the first leg, and given that he's typically more effective at Estadio de La Cartuja, he's worth betting on to notch against a Panathinaikos that doesn't exactly specialize in away-day clean sheets in the Europa League.
Our Real Betis vs Panathinaikos Pick: Antony to Score.
