Match Facts

  • Malmö and Panathinaikos have never previously met in European competition, though the home side have lost two of their three prior matches across major European competition against Greek sides (W1).

  • Panathinaikos have lost just one of their seven European fixtures against Swedish opposition (W4 D2), though that sole loss came in their last match vs Djurgården during last season’s UEFA Conference League group stage.

  • Malmö have won just one of their last 25 major European games (D4 L20), failing to keep a clean sheet during that time whilst also failing to score in 13 of those matches.

  • New Panathinaikos manager Rafael Benitez last managed in the UEFA Europa League during the 2014-15 season with Napoli, taking them to the semi-final stage. He’s lost just eight of his 35 matches in the competition across his career (W20 D7), though each of those defeats have come on the road.

  • No player has more UEFA Europa League goals this season than Panathinaikos’ Karol Swiderski (3 goals), scoring in all three matches. Fotis Ioannidis was the last player to score in four major European appearances in a row for the club, between October and December 2023.
