Goaloo Preview
Panathinaikos has had a slow start to the national league, currently in sixth place. Their matches have been low-scoring, with 7 goals scored and 6 conceded after eight rounds. In the Conference League, they got past Lens, a former Champions League team, with a narrow 3-2 win over two legs. But their scoring struggles continued in the group stage, as they drew 1-1 away at Borac Banja Luka in the first round. On top of that, injuries have been an issue. Magnusson has been out for a while, and Ioannidis was recently sidelined, missing last weekend’s match.

Chelsea’s large squad allows them to rotate players, and the Conference League is a good chance for the reserves to get some playing time. In the first round, they had an easy 4-2 win over Gent at Stamford Bridge, though Maresca was likely unhappy with their defense. In the Premier League, Chelsea has been solid, but a draw with Nottingham Forest and a loss to Liverpool dropped them to sixth place. For the next match, key players like Palmer, Lavia, and Fofana are unavailable as they aren’t registered for the tournament. Chilwell, dealing with fitness issues and only playing 45 minutes this season, is also unlikely to feature.
