Panathinaikos has quite a history of playing in European competitions, but in recent years it has become increasingly difficult for the team to qualify for the group stage. The last time Panathinaikos played in the group stage was in the 2016/17 season, and that was the UEFA Europa League; Panathinaikos has not played in the UEFA Champions League for over 10 years.
Marseille have a more successful history in European competitions, with the team reaching the UEFA Europa League final not so long ago. This season the team has strengthened its squad very much, so the French look favourites in this pairing.
Prediction: Marseille to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 1.91
