Panathinaikos will invite Go Ahead Eagles to the Athens Olympic Stadium in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. The hosts enjoyed a winning start to their campaign last month while the Eagles suffered a loss.
The Shamrock met Young Boys in their campaign opener and registered a comfortable 4-1 away win. Karol Świderski broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, and Anass Zaroury bagged a hat-trick. They continued their winning run in the Super League Greece, recording a 2-1 away triumph over Panetolikos last week. Alexander Jeremejeff scored a stoppage-time winner in that match.
The visitors met FCSB in their campaign opener last month and suffered a narrow 1-0 loss. Their poor form continued in the Eredivisie last week as they suffered a 4-2 away loss to Telstar.
