by Bradley Gibbs in Europa League Picks
One of the most interesting UEFA Europa League games due to take place on Thursday will come our way from the Greek capital of Athens, where Panathinaikos will welcome Plzen to the Olympic Stadiumof Athens. The hosts failed to win at the weekend and will now be looking to bounce back. Not only are they looking to atone for that latest domestic effort, but they are also looking to break into the all-important top eight in the UEL standings. Win here and they'll do just that.
Also looking to force themselves back into the automatic knockout places is a Plzen team that has delivered some impressive performances on the continent this season, most notably beating Roma in the Italian capital back in October. The visitors are also just one point off the all-important top eight, and as they are unbeaten in this competition, they'll surely believe that they can get a positive result here.

Our Panathinaikos Athens vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction
I suggested Plzen's Rafiu Durosinmi as scorer bet during the last round of UEL games. He didn't score, but I'm not going to give up on the Nigerian forward, who has since scored domestically and continues to look like a dangerous player. Against a home team that isn't exactly thriving defensively, Durosinmi looks nicely priced at odds of +300.
Let's be real, the visitors are very good on the road, and they're strong on the break, while no Plzen player has scored more UEL goals than Durosinmi this season. The forward averages 0.43 goals per 90 minutes and I just cannot ignore that when odds of +300 are on offer.
Our Panathinaikos vs Plzen Pick: Rafiu Durosinmi to Score.
