Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------
Real Betis host Panathinaikos in the Europa League last-16 second leg, aiming to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit. The Greek side arrive with a slim advantage after their win in Athens last week.

Team Analysis:
Real Betis need to regain their scoring form after a first-leg loss to Panathinaikos and a recent winless streak in domestic play. Panathinaikos, riding a nine-match unbeaten run, hold a slim first-leg lead but face a tough challenge against Spanish opposition in their quest for a European quarter-final.

Player Situation:
Betis will be without Lo Celso, Isco, and suspended Llorente, forcing Pellegrini to make several changes for the second leg. Panathinaikos also face absences, including suspended Zaroury and injured Kotsiras and Palmer-Brown, limiting their squad options.

Result Prediction:
Despite playing at a temporary home, Betis have turned La Cartuja into a stronghold in Europe this season. They are expected to use their home advantage to overturn the last-16 tie.

Predicted Result: Real Betis 2-0 Panathinaikos.
