All or nothing in Czechia
Panathinaikos face Hradec Králové in the Conference League playoff on Thursday, August 27, and only a win keeps the European season alive (1) (2). One result. That is the whole tie.
The match is the final round of summer qualifiers, with a European future on the line (2) (3). Greek outlets have called it "ή ταν ή επί τας", all or nothing (1). Win and you stay in Europe. Anything else ends the run before the group stage.
Panathinaikos go into this off a 0–0 draw at home to Kifisia in the league on Sunday (August 23). Slow start domestically. Europe is the chance to change the mood.
The next league match is Monday, August 31, away to Levadiakos.
