Rangers F.C. vs Panathinaikos Prediction 22 July 2025

Rangers approach this campaign after finishing second in the Scottish Premiership last season, a familiar outcome in recent years. However, their gap to champions Celtic was a disappointing 17 points, highlighting the work still needed to close the domestic gap. In preparation for the new season, Rangers played just one friendly, drawing 2-2 against Brugge, leaving questions about their current sharpness.

Panathinaikos, meanwhile, had a more extensive summer schedule with mixed results. The Greeks secured victories over Metalist 1925 (3-0) and Westerlo (3-1), but also suffered defeats to Nordsjælland (0-1) and Braga (1-2), alongside a goalless draw with Schalke. Nevertheless, finishing second in the Greek Super League last season was a significant success for the club, marking their return to prominence domestically.

Both sides are known for their attacking capabilities, and with the stakes high even this early in the season, an open and competitive game is expected. Given the circumstances and the attacking intent on both sides, We anticipate goals from each team. My prediction: both Rangers and Panathinaikos to score.

Both teams to score 1.70
