Match Preview: Lens vs Panathinaikos
Lens heads into this encounter in high spirits, as they started their 2024/25 Ligue 1 campaign with a 1-0 win over Angers on Sunday evening. The victory extended their unbeaten run to five matches (including friendly matches), with four wins and one draw. Now, Lens, who finished in 7th place last term, have to replicate this form in Europe when they start their Europa Conference League qualification this week.
Panathinaikos failed to return to winning ways following elimination from the Europa League. The Greek club was in the race to participate in the Europa League this season, but they crashed out to Ajax in the qualification stage on penalties after both legs ended (0-1, 0-1), which explains why they are continuing their European charge in the Conference League. They lost at home 1-0 Asteras Tripolis, although they finished the game with a man down. Panathinaikos will have to improve their form if they want to participate in the CL this season.
Lens vs Panathinaikos Prediction
We predict Lens 1-1 Panathinaikos. The Greek side is in decent form, having won three and lost two of their last five matches, including a 1-0 win in the Netherlands against Ajax. They initially started their European charge in the Europa League but following their elimination, we think they will do everything to avoid elimination from this competition, hence expecting them to avoid a defeat in France.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals Prediction
Six out of Lens’ eight matches ended with over 2.5 goals, although seven were friendly matches. When it comes to competitive games, the French team doesn’t score and concede much. Also, Panathinaikos rarely concede many goals on the road, which makes us predict Lens vs Panathinaikos will end with under 2.5 goals.
Predicted Starting Lineups;
Lens: Samba, Medina, Chavez, Danso, Gradit, Aguilar, Mendy, Thomasson, Fulgini, Said, Sotoca
Panathinaikos: Lodygin, Vaginnidis, Schenkeveld, Arao, Max, Maksmimovic, Zeca, Vilhena, Tete, Duricic, Jeremejeff
