Ajax vs Panathinaikos Previous Meetings

As mentioned this is the second leg of this fixture with both teams facing one another on the 8th August 2024 as well. That game ended in a 1-0 win for Ajax thanks to a Steven Berghuis goal 28 minutes in.

That win extended Ajax’s run against Panathinaikos to 5 having beaten them on 5 occasions in history to Panathinaikos’ 1 win. This will be something they look to extend again in this game.

Ajax vs Panathinaikos Team News & Predicted Lineups

Ajax are set to be without Christian Rasmussen and Geronimo Rulli again in this game but that seems as though it will be the only player they are missing. Returns for Brian Brobbey and Steven Bergwijn are also possibilities.

The away side, Panathinaikos, on the other hand, aren’t missing any key players and are expected to start a very similar team to the one that lost to Ajax in the last leg. This especially considering the Greek Super League season is yet to kick off.

Ajax - Remko Pasveer, Devyne Rensch, Josip Sutalo, Youri Baas, Jorrel Hato, Kenneth Taylor, Jordan Henderson, Kian Fitz-Jim, Steven Berghuis, Chuba Akpom, Carlos Forbs

Panathinaikos - Bartłomiej Drągowski, George Baldock, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, Tin Jedvaj, Filip Mladenović, Adam Gnezda Čerin, Willian Arão, Daniel Mancini, Anastasios Bakasetas, Filip Đuričić, Alexander Jeremejeff

Ajax vs Panathinaikos Prediction
