For the “Blood and Gold,” the season is just beginning. So far, they have played only one official match, which was in Ligue 1, where they secured a 1-0 away victory against Angers. The visitors were sharper and more active, making the result well-deserved.
It’s difficult to assess the team’s form based on just one match, so it’s worth recalling their summer friendlies. In eight games, Lens achieved 6 wins, suffered one loss, and drew once. Retaining their place in European competitions is crucial, even if it’s in the less prestigious Conference League.
The Greek giants started their European campaign in the Europa League qualifiers, where they confidently defeated Bulgarian side Botev Plovdiv, winning 2-1 at home and 4-0 away.
The battle against the formidable Ajax was a different story. Panathinaikos lost 0-1 at home but then took revenge with the same score in the return leg. The tie was decided by a penalty shootout, with each team taking 17 attempts, and the Dutch side ultimately advanced. The start of their domestic league campaign was disappointing, as they lost 0-1 at home to Asteras Tripolis. The key moment was a red card for the hosts early in the second half, after which they conceded.
