Betting suggestion:

A match between two teams that are in different realities. Athletic Bilbao is one of Spain's top teams, with 8 national titles, 22 cup titles and was runner up in this competition twice. Panathinaikos, despite being one of Greece's great teams, their country isn't so relevant, and have a low quality league. So it is clear the superiority that the Spanish team has, as stated in the first match. So also due to the fact that they are at home and have a better squad, we should back Athletic Bilbao.
