Panathinaikos - Ajax
Panathinaikos hosts Ajax in the UEFA Europa League. The match at the stadium "Apostolos Nikolaidis" is Thursday, September 15th from 22:05 CET.
The Bulgarian international Ivan Ivanov fall entirely in the composition of Panathinaikos, which enjoys a good start to the new season. "Green" finished in third place last campaign and therefore started a little earlier participation in the Europa League, unlike the 2015/16 season when started from the playoffs and were eliminated from the Gabanna.
Now Panathinaikos had to play in the third qualifying round, and was more than convincing. Greeks removed AIK 3: 0 after two matches, as at home registered success with 1: 0. Then in the playoffs the team of Ivan Ivanov confront Danish Brondby. Panathinaikos again did not allow a goal "Apostolos Nikolaidis" this time greeted with a classic victory 3: 0 and the second leg of the tie 1: 1 was enough to enter the group stage of the Europa League.
Greek Super League started last weekend and "green" began hammering successful 3: 0 against Levadiakos as a guest. So the team met Ajax in a good mood and will try to start with a victory in Group G, where another team of Standard Liege and Celta.
Ajax had an unusually bad start of season 2016/2017 after failing to win the title on the final day of last season. The new coach Peter Bosch undoubtedly disappointed by the drop in the Champions League and faltering start in the Dutch championship.
Ajax took only four points in the first three rounds and meanwhile dropped into the playoffs of the Champions League Rostov with a total score of 2: 5. But then Ajax recovered and won 3: 0 against rookie Go Ahead Eagles, followed by success with 1: 0 over Vitesse weekend so the team climb to third place in the league.
The team of defense is made up of very young players who precisely because of the lack of experience were broken from Rostov. Panathinaikos did have a lot of class. Ibarbo, Berg, Ledesma, places, etc. They are all players who have played several international matches, so expect the hosts again to perform strongly at home and win the game.
