Bet Builder Tip For Panathinaikos vs Rangers

As Panathinaikos prepare to welcome Rangers for the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie, punters are being handed an enticing opportunity for a well-structured bet builder.

With the Scottish club holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg, the return fixture in Athens is set up for an intense, action-packed evening. And with both sides carrying threats and vulnerabilities of their own, this tie lends itself perfectly to a combination of smart selections.

Here’s a Bet Builder that combines three markets – each supported by form, stats, and tactical expectations.

Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Panathinaikos vs Rangers, which has been placed with Bet365:

⚽ Both Teams to Score

Given the context of the tie, this leg feels like a natural inclusion. Panathinaikos are two goals down from the first leg and must take more attacking risks if they want to stay in the competition. That alone should guarantee a more open game than what we saw at Ibrox.

Despite limited possession in Glasgow – just 25% – Panathinaikos still managed to get off 14 shots, almost matching Rangers’ 16. They looked vulnerable at the back, but still capable of testing the opposition goalkeeper. With a raucous home crowd behind them, there’s every chance they find the net at least once.

On the other hand, Rangers are highly unlikely to sit back for 90 minutes. They demonstrated sharpness and fluidity in the first leg and are currently unbeaten in eight consecutive matches across all competitions. Finlay Curtis has found the net in three straight appearances, and alongside Danilo and Gassama, forms a lively attacking line.

The Gers’ possession-based style under Russell Martin, with 75% of the ball in the first leg, will allow them to control phases of the match and create chances. Considering the Greeks have conceded in five of their last six matches, Rangers should get scoring opportunities of their own.

In a tie that demands goals, both teams to score offers strong value and a logical foundation for a multi-leg bet.

📈 Over 3 Corners for Panathinaikos

Although they struggled to maintain possession at Ibrox, Panathinaikos still found ways to put the ball in the danger area and recorded multiple attempts. With Ioannidis leading the line and wide support from Pellistri, Duricic, and Mancini, expect them to stretch the Rangers defence more aggressively at home.

The Greek side will be chasing goals from the outset, and that urgency is likely to translate into increased attacking sequences – particularly down the flanks where Rangers’ full-backs are more attack-minded. This could leave space behind for Panathinaikos to exploit and win set-pieces.

A reshuffled midfield with Chirivella and Maksimovic feeding passes into the final third should also provide the structure needed to sustain pressure and earn corners. The fact they managed 14 shots in the first leg suggests they’re not shy about pulling the trigger – another stat that generally correlates with a higher corner count.

Playing at home with elimination looming, it’s reasonable to expect Panathinaikos to clear four corners as they push bodies forward. Backing them to hit that threshold is a smart addition to the bet builder.

📊 Over 3 Corners for Rangers

Even in away fixtures, Rangers are a team that dominates the ball and territory. Their 75% possession figure in the first leg highlighted just how comfortable they are on the ball under Russell Martin. With technical midfielders like Rothwell, Diomande, and Raskin, they keep the game ticking and find width consistently.

The trio up front – Curtis, Gassama, and Danilo – all like to run at defenders, and those sorts of direct moves often result in deflections, clearances, and ultimately, corners. Rangers are also happy to play short or long to the flanks, which increases crossing volume – another factor that boosts corner potential.

Add to that the fact that Panathinaikos need to attack and leave gaps, Rangers should get space on the break. Quick transitions and overloads could easily lead to a series of corners, especially if the Greek side are chasing the tie late on.

In a match where both teams are likely to attack in phases, it would be no surprise to see Rangers rack up five or six corners again – a trend they’ve followed in recent outings.
