Analysis of the match between Panathinaikos and Samsunspor
Panathinaikos struggled in their European campaign so far. After being eliminated by Glasgow Rangers in the Champions League qualifiers, they narrowly overcame Shakhtar Donetsk in the third qualifying round of the 2025/26 Europa League. Both legs ended 0-0, and Panathinaikos only advanced after a tense penalty shootout.
Overall, the Greek side has won just once in their last eight matches. They are currently on a four-game streak without a victory, consisting of draws and losses, suggesting they may not pose a significant challenge for Samsunspor.
Although Samsunspor are returning to European competition after a 27-year absence, the Turkish side cannot be underestimated. They come into this match in strong form, having won three consecutive games against USL Dunkerque, Genclerbirligi, and Kocaelispor. Facing a Panathinaikos side struggling for victories, Samsunspor are likely capable of at least securing a draw.
