There's UEFA Europa League action coming our way from the Greek city of Athens on Thursday. Not for the first time this season, Panathinaikos and Plzen will clash at the Olympic Stadium of Athens, where the pair tied 0-0 during the League Phase. On that occasion, the visitors were reduced to ten men half way through the first half. Having taken a positive result, and kept a clean sheet, with ten men, they may fancy themselves to return back to Czechia with an aggregate lead. 

The hosts haven't exactly warmed up for this game by being in hot form. They've won just one of their last four games, losing two of their other three. Last time out at home, they could only tie against AEL Larissa. In contrast, the visitors have been winning with regularity ahead of this game, picking up four wins on the bounce, which means that they should go to Greece feeling confident.

Our Panathinaikos Athens vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction

Given his rather strong shooting performances in the UEFA Europa League this season, Plzen's key man Matej Vydra really does look generously priced to register just one shot on target. Let's be honest, the forward has got himself into lots of promising shooting positions in UEL games, firing off regular shots, while he's no stranger to hurting teams on the break. 

Against a Panathinaikos team that has some injuries and didn't exactly defend superbly at home during the League Phase, Vydra is well worth betting on to shoot on target all the time odds of -105 are on offer. 

Our Panathinaikos vs Viktoria Plzen Pick: Matej Vydra 1+ Shots on Target.
