Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 58.70

Shakhtar Donetsk is expected to capitalize on their home advantage early in the game. Their strategy often involves taking control from the outset, making it likely for them to score in the first half. This bet could be lucrative given their form and the pressure they might exert on Panathinaikos’ defense early on.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 57.70

Panathinaikos’ defensive setup is typically solid, but Shakhtar’s aggressive start may prevent them from finding the back of the net in the first half. This prediction aligns with the likelihood of Shakhtar dominating possession and creating early chances.

Over 2.5 Goals: 59.60

With both teams known for their attacking play, over 2.5 goals is a plausible outcome. The offensive strengths of Shakhtar combined with Panathinaikos’ willingness to attack could lead to a high-scoring affair.

Both Teams Not to Score: 51.30

This outcome seems less likely given the attacking profiles of both teams. However, if both sides adopt a more cautious approach or if key players are missing due to tactical decisions or injuries, this could be a possibility.
