Welcome to matchday two of the UEFA Conference League competition phase! We are in Greece, ready to take on Panathinaikos in the main arena of the 2004 Olympic Games. The local side is in mourning after the tragic death of George Baldock a fortnight ago, and will play this game imbued with his spirit .

Enzo Maresca makes an almost complete rotation of the team, with mainly the B team taking the field, but Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernández also starting. It is not clear exactly how the back four will line up as there is no recognized right-back in the team.

Here we go!

Panathinaikos starting line-up (4-2-3-1):
Dragowski | Mladenović, Jedvaj, Schenkeveld (c), Kotsiras | N.Maksimović, Čerin | Pellitri, Ounahi, Mancini | Jeremejeff

Substitutes for: Lodygin, Lilo, Vagiannidis, Šporar, Tetê, Bakasetas, Ingason, Fikaj, Bregou, Durićić, Willian Arão, Ntampizas
