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.
