Dynamo Moscow hosts Panathinaikos in the Europa League group E fifth round. The game is almost meaningless for the two teams: only Dynamo has something to fight for, but punters surely can get some profit with a good match analysis.
Dynamo was impressive in this group: first place, 12 points … already qualified and probably from the first place, but they need a win today to make sure they finish first (otherwise they will need a result in the last game away vs. PSV … if PSV beats Estoril in this round). With qualification assured Dynamo will be free of worries today, they might make a couple of changes but nothing major is reported. They had big struggles in the last Europa League game beating Estoril with a late goal at home, but Dynamo is in very good form with 3 consecutive wins without conceding a goal … even beating CSKA Moscow, and 3-0 vs Terek in the weekend.
Bet on Dynamo vs Panathinaikos with the top Europa League odds @ Ladbrokes.com.
Panathinaikos is already eliminated and has only pride to play for. It is a season to forget for Panathinaikos so far … just 1 point in Europe, 5th place in the league. Their defense is rubbish, allowed at least 1 goal in 7 of the last 8 matches and opponents were not really top class. At least they won over PAOK on the road in their last match but they need much more consistency to be a threat. Panata had the game over Ergotelis in the weekend postponed so they will have their players fresh from this trip to Moscow trying to make a late positive impression in Europe.
I think we have arguments in the analysis to go for the over 2,5 goals bet. Panathinaikos is a team that concedes goals, are pretty error prone in defense … Dynamohas 3 clean sheets in a row but they play very good attacking football and are usually an overish team … today they are free of pressure and can play more relaxed, also it is important to know that draw or loss is the same to them … so they must play attacking football to get a win. I think Dynamo will score two goals at least but Panathinaikos can catch them a little relaxed and score as well. Let’s not forget that Dynamo Moscow won 2-1 in Greece. My tip will be over 2,5 goals, medium-high stakes. Correct score prediction: Dynamo Moscow – Panathinaikos 2-1.
Pick: over 2,5 goals
