Europa League: Ferencvaros vs Panathinaikos 22/01/2026

Asian Handicap Betting

Ferencvaros are not a team with a very high ceiling, but they have a well drilled squad that in recent years has made its presence felt in European competitions as well.

Their run this season is impressive and with an overall record of 4-2-0 in the Europa League League Phase, they sit in sixth place in the standings with good chances of qualifying directly for the round of 16.

Panathinaikos are in a phase of total rebuilding. With constant changes in coaches and players, they could not have consistency. The season, however, is not completely lost. With ten points collected in the Europa

League, they have already secured a place in the top 24. Some isolated good performances have kept them alive in the competition.

Ferencvaros will be fresh after the winter break but without match rhythm. They lost their main scorer Varga in the transfer window, but with good collective functioning, they are able to cover, at least to some extent, his absence.

Panathinaikos have shown that when they present their good face, they can be very competitive in such matches. Benitez experiments constantly, trying to find players and shapes to rely on, but even in their wins, the overall image is not good at all. I find it difficult to see a very strong version of the team and for this reason I will back the hosts, who consistently deliver solid performances in the competition.
