Ligue 1 powerhouses Marseille begin their quest for a place in the Champions League group stages when they meet Panathinaikos in Wednesday's qualifying third-round first leg.
Meanwhile, their Greek hosts have already eliminated Ukraine's Dnipro-1 5-3 on aggregate ahead of the visit of the French giants to Athens' Leoforos Alexandras Stadium.
We say: Panathinaikos 1-2 Marseille
Marseille have undergone a significant attacking transition this summer, and Marcelino's new forwards may take some time to gel with one another, offering Panathinaikos hope of a positive result on home soil.
The Greek giants can be expected to breach the Olympiens' backline at least once, but Marseille still boast a host of players with plenty of continental nous, and the visitors should take a first-leg lead back to base.

Aiming to keep their hopes of a first-ever Champions League group-stage appearance alive, Slovan Bratislava host Maccabi Haifa in the first leg of their third-round qualifying tie at Tehelne pole on Wednesday evening.
The Slovakian champions edged past Zrinjski Mostar 3-2 on aggregate to make it this far, while Maccabi overturned a first-leg deficit against Sheriff Tiraspol to run out 5-2 aggregate winners.
We say: Slovan Bratislava 0-1 Maccabi Haifa
While football is a team game, Weiss is arguably an irreplaceable figure in the Bratislava attack, and more shortcomings at home should be exploited by their Israeli counterparts.
Maccabi did not always cover themselves in glory during their second-round tie with Sheriff, but Dego's side should take a first-leg advantage back to their headquarters this week.

Rangers welcome Swiss club Servette to Ibrox on Wednesday as both sides aim to notch a first-leg advantage in the third round of Champions League qualifying.
The hosts suffered a surprise defeat to Kilmarnock in their opening match of the campaign, while the visitors have made an unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season.
We say: Rangers 1-1 Servette
After suffering a shock defeat on the opening weekend of the Scottish Premiership season, Rangers will be determined to pick up a positive result on Tuesday.
However, the hosts could struggle to claim all three points as Servette bid to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign, so we expect the first leg to end all square.
