Lens travel to Athens to take on Panathinaikos this Thursday in the Europa Conference League play-off second leg (8pm). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After his 2-1 victory at Bollaert, the Racing Club of Lens approaches its second round against Panathinaikos with the greatest caution. The Blood and Gold expect a particularly hostile atmosphere in Greece. And they will also have to deal with a weakened defense since Medina, sent off in the first leg, will be suspended for this return match, while the uncertainty surrounds the situation of Danso.
“We approach it like a match that starts at 0-0 and that you have to try to win, warned Will Still. We must not calculate or tell ourselves that we have a one-goal lead. It is in the 90th minute that I will tell myself whether we have a one-goal lead or not. We must go there to get a positive result. We will approach this second match like the first. To win it, quite simply. We will take confidence in this first match without taking ourselves for others but by continuing to do what we know how to do. The message got through.
The expected compositions
Panathinaikos : Dragowski, Kotsiras, Ingasson, Jedvaj, Mladenovic, Gnezda, Arao, Tete, Pellistri, Djuricic, Ioannidis.
Lens : Samba – Gradit – Sarr – Danso – Frankowski – Chavez – Diouf – Thomasson – Zaroury – Sotoca – Saïd.
Where to watch the match?
This return leg of the Europa Conference League between Panathinaikos and Lens will be broadcast this Wednesday evening on Canal +, from 8 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the group’s streaming platform, MyCanal.
