"Marking their return from November's international break with a dominant display over the weekend as they cruised their way to a thumping 3-0 victory away at Panserraikos, Rafael Benitez has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving last month. Heading into November's fortnight interval with a 2-1 win at home against domestic foes PAOK, the former Newcastle boss should find the mood in his camp at a season-high."
"Skyrocketing their way up the Super League standings, the Greek giants will be confident of making another statement here. Likewise, last seen in Europa League action securing a gritty 1-0 victory away at Malmo, Panathinaikos have won their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 6-1. Pencilled in as a standout contender on Thursday night, it should also be highlighted that Benitez's side have also won five of their last six outings."
"Strum Graz opened up the 2025/26 campaign with plenty of plaudits from across the continent. However, marking their return from November's international break with a nightmare 3-1 drumming at home against LASK, the reigning Austrian champions suddenly find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Getting November underway with a 2-1 defeat away at SK Rapid, Jurgen Samuel appears to have a major job on his hands at the Merkur Arena."
Panathinaikos recovered from a slow start to the 2025/26 season with convincing wins, including 3-0 at Panserraikos and 2-1 versus PAOK. Rafael Benitez has had an immediate positive impact since his appointment, and the team won three recent matches by an aggregate 6-1, including a 1-0 Europa League victory at Malmo. Panathinaikos have won five of their last six games and are climbing the Super League. Strum Graz defended their Austrian title last season but have slipped domestically, suffering 3-1 and 2-1 defeats and putting Jurgen Samuel under pressure despite a 0-0 Europa League draw with Nottingham Forest.
