Panathinaikos will try to overturn the two-goal deficit from the first leg against Rangers in Glasgow. Last season's Greek Super League runners-up will welcome Rangers to the Spiros Louis Olympic Stadium on Wednesday for a crucial second leg.
Although the Scottish Premiership side won the first leg 2-0, they were more than just lucky in the end if you look at the course of the game. After taking a 1-0 lead shortly after half-time, Panathinaikos had to play on with ten men after Giorgios Vagiannidis was sent off. Rangers capitalised on their superior numbers and made it 2-0 with 15 minutes remaining, but the momentum of the game was still not on their side. The Greek team had an expected goals rate of 2.77 and Rangers just 1.06, deserving a different result in the end.

Prediction
Rangers managed to keep a clean sheet despite Panathinaikos’ efficient attacking play in the final third, in which the Greeks scored an impressive xG of 2.77. The Greeks were very unlucky not to capitalise on at least one of their few big chances, while Rangers scored twice, although none of their shots had an xG value higher than 0.20. It's rare for Panathinaikos not to score at home, and considering they're desperate to overturn a two-goal deficit, there should be counter-attacking opportunities for Rangers. Our tip is that both teams will score on Wednesday.
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- Rangers scored twice despite only accumulating an xG of 1.06 in the first leg
- Panathinaikos accumulated an xG of 2.77 in the first leg
- Panathinaikos averaged 1.5 goals in home matches last season
