Real Betis will host Panathinaikos at the Estadio de La Cartuja for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie on Thursday. The Spanish side lost the first leg 1-0 in Greece last week, a match that also saw both teams reduced to ten men. Betis is currently in a difficult spell, having not won any of their last five league matches. Their most recent domestic fixture resulted in a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo.

Historically, Panathinaikos has struggled in away matches against Spanish teams in international competitions, suffering 16 defeats in 17 such encounters. Conversely, Real Betis has maintained an undefeated home record in the Europa League this season, scoring two goals in each of their four home games in the competition.
