On Thursday, <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"150\">March 12<\/b>, Panathinaikos FC will face Real Betis in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16, with kick-off scheduled for <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"277\">18:45 CET<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Originally, the tip-off at the OAKA Arena would have overlapped almost entirely with the football team&#8217;s European clash.
