CSKA 1948 Sofia arrive at this second leg unbeaten in five (W3 D2), but that surface flatters. Four of those five matches saw both teams score, and the first leg in Athens ended 1-1. Panathinaikos carry the away-goal advantage into Sofia and, despite four absentees through injury, have scored in all five of their recent outings. The head-to-head record tells a clear story: CSKA have not beaten Panathinaikos in three meetings, losing two and drawing one, conceding in all three. With Panathinaikos needing only to avoid a two-goal deficit to advance, their defensive discipline in high-stakes moments is the key variable. The Greek side are priced at 1.70 (bet365) for the win - that is a workable price for a team with the tie firmly in hand and a squad capable of managing the occasion.
