Panathinaikos go up against Marseille with kick-off this coming Wednesday at Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium. This is the first leg in the third round of the Champions League.

Panathinaikos secured a place in this tie by knocking out SC Dnipro-1 in the second round of qualifying. Although only drawing the return leg, a win in the first was more than enough to see them through with an aggregate score of 5-3.

Panathinaikos only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 11 for an average of 1.1 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Marseille travel to their next Champions League match, averaging a lowly one goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 17. That amounts to an average of 1.7 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Marseille are favourites to see the next round after going toe-to-toe for a long stretch with PSG in the Ligue 1 last season. Panathinaikos had their best season in ages, though, and Greece can be a seriously tough place to visit. This has the look an exciting encounter.
