Panathinaikos vs Chelsea: Conference League prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, odds today

Chelsea attempt to bounce back from defeat to Liverpool at Anfield when they take on Panathinaikos in the Conference League .

Enzo Maresca’s side started off their campaign with a 4-2 win against Gent at Stamford Bridge last time out, a game which saw the Blues’ boss heavily rotate and give minutes to some of his fringe players, with Christopher Nkunku notably scoring a hat-trick.

Chelsea are massive favourites to win the competition given their resources, and form so far this season, but will likely face one of their tougher games away to the Greek giants despite their mixed start to the domestic season.
