Panatinaikos – Samsunspor. Forecast and announcement for the Europ League Qualification match

On August 21, the first match of the final round of the Europa League will take place at the Athens Olympic Stadium, in which Panatinaikos will meet with Samsunspor. The match will start at 9:00 pm.

Panatinaikos

The team won the championship and the Greece Cup two dozens of times. Recently, she has come to the background. Including in the truest sense: the last draw of the local superliga graduated in a silver position.

This allowed to get to the Champions League again, but it ended at the first stage of qualification. In Glasgow, in the first duel, they gave way to 0: 2, after which at home from the Rangers was only a draw. Having gone to the Europa League, the club received a difficult rival, Donetsk Shakhtar. Both meetings with him were in a flat, persistent, but not spectacular struggle. As a result, after a pair of zero, the pensive series was reached, where Drogovsky missed less than the difference.

Samsunspor

The club celebrates its 60th anniversary. And even in the 1980s, he became a bronze medalist of the local championship a couple of times. But, flying in 2006, then spent only one season in Super League-but in 2018-2020 they dropped even in the third division. But returning to the higher league two years ago, first they just didn’t fly back. And in the spring, Thomas Rice’s wards repeated their maximum result – third place!

This is what allows you to fully start in the European Cups – before that, at the end of the last century, they performed in the Cup of Intertoto and even the Balkan Cup. However, after a summer pause, the football players have already held a couple of tours in the new Turkey Championship. Initially, at home they handled Genchlerbirligi, then at the expense of the late motorway it was possible to take three points and with a coagaliepor.

Personal meetings

Although clubs represent neighboring countries, they have never even conducted even friendly duels.
