Panathinaikos vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | July 30th 2025

Panathinaikos will invite Rangers to the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Wednesday. They met in the first leg in Glasgow, and the Gers registered a 2-0 home win.

The Greens have not qualified for the group stage of the competition since 2011. They will play their first competitive home game of the season on Wednesday and will look to bounce back from the loss in the first leg.

The visitors extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions, including friendlies, to eight games with a 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough in a friendly on Saturday. Danilo halved the deficit for them, while Findlay Curtis, who scored in the first leg, bagged a late equalizer.

Panathinaikos vs Rangers Prediction

Panathinaikos are winless in two home meetings against the visitors, with both games ending in 1-1 draws. They have suffered just one loss at home in competitive games since October and will look to build on that form.

Defender Georgios Vagiannidis was sent off in the first leg and will serve a suspension here. Emmanouil Siopis picked up an injury in training and is also not an option for this match.

Rangers registered just their second win against a Greek team in the first leg and will look to continue that form here. Notably, they are winless in their last four competitive away games, and they have conceded two goals apiece in these games.

Hamza Igamane and Thelo Aasgaard missed the latest training sessions, and Russell Martin is likely to rest the duo.

The visitors have enjoyed much better form this month, and considering Panathinaikos' recent record in Champions League qualifiers, we back Rangers to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Panathinaikos 1-2 Rangers
