Their European future is played within a week Panathinaikos and Lancestarting with today’s (21/08), first match between them, at 22:00 (sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247 and COSMOTE SPORT1), on “Felix Bollar“, in his playoffs Conference League.
Two demanding, difficult and must-have games for both, which will also determine the participation of one of the two in the League Phase of the third European interclub football competition.
Starting with the French side, who finished seventh in Ligue 1 for the third time in the last four years, the goal of qualification is clear. It was expressed, from the most official lips: of her coach Will Steele, at the usual press conference.
Lance is coming off a 1-0 league opener win over Angers, has good psychology and bets a lot on strength of headquarterswith the stadium expected to be packed and… hot tonight!
On the contrary, he cannot count on the help of the Jimmys Sambot and Neil El Ainawiwho are both suffering from injury problems and will return in early September.
As far as “clover” is concerned now, apparently there is equal pressure for his return to European groups after last year.
On the other hand, of course, as in the case of the games against Ajax, the opponent is now the favorite, the lies are bad. Of course, this does not mean that there are no chances or that it will fall… without a fight.
The opposite, one would even say, leaving out the distorting mirror that goes by the name “Asteras AKTOR”. The image of Panathinaikos in most of the matches of the qualifying rounds was such that it allows a moderate optimism.
Obviously, Diego Alonso and his players are asked to put the 1-0 defeat behind them, to… remember the rest of their matches this year and, correcting the mistakes they made in those too, along with the help of luck – which he has turned his back on them is the truthin raffles but also during the games- to get a reaction!
By doing all of the above, they will increase their chances of leaving France with a result that will allow them to claim qualification for the second leg of the OAKA, with the world on their side this time…
Panathinaikos’ only competitive problem has to do with Daniel’s suspension Manciniwho completed cards, while Toni has also been left out for competitive reasons Villena.
The team of “clover” consists of: Dragovski, Lodingin, Lilo, Vaiannidis, Max, Senkefeld, Zeka, Ioannidis, Sporar, Tete, Bakasetas, Ingason, Tserin, Limnios, Maksimovic, Jedvai, Mladenovic, Kotsiras, Geremegev, Djuricits ao , Katris, Bregou and Frokou.
