The “greens” welcome tonight at 21:00 in the evening at OAKA (Cosmote Sport 1, sport-fm.gr, bwinSPORT FM) her Botev Plovdiv as part of the first match for his second qualifying round Europa League!

The “clover” has now turned the page, now having the 49-year-old Uruguayan on his bench, Diego Alonsowho through the basic stage of preparation has passed a new football philosophy to the team.

The “greens” have made significant additions, with Nemanja Maksimovic, George Baldock and Sverir Ingason to be the first to wear the ‘trefoil’ in the current transfer window.

In fact, almost 24 hours before the match, Panathinaikos finalized another great transfer, as it also acquired the 24-year-old Brazilian winger, Tete from Galatasaray, even managing to add him to the list, leaving out Aitor.

On the other side of the Botev showed that it will be a highly predictable opponent for Panathinaikos, since in the first qualifying round of Europa Leaguemanaged to exclude her Maribor with victory in Bulgaria (2-1) and a draw in Slovenia (2-2).

Dusan Kerkez’s team is at a higher level of readiness compared to the “clover”, but continues to have the role of outsider in this pair.
