Lens vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League
by Kennedy Kechula in Conference League Predictions
Panathinaikos’ elimination from the Europa League has landed them in the Conference League play-offs. They start off with an away game at Lens this Thursday. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.
Hosts Lens failed to live to the high standards that saw them play in the Champions League group stage last season. In light of their tremendous performances in the past few seasons Lens will be considered favorites to book a league phase spot.
After a superb preseason, Lens started their competitive campaign with an away win, beating Angers 1-0 on Sunday. That was their fourth unbeaten outing, winning two of them. Lens are set to get their first ever taste of the Conference League. In their eight matches in Europe Last season, they only won twice.
Panathinaikos have a bigger profile in Europe compared to Lens and will hope this experience shows. They’ve already suffered heartbreak in Europe and will hope for no more setbacks.
They were beaten on penalties by Ajax in the Europa League 3rd qualifying round, having earlier eliminated Botev Plovdiv. What looked like a good start to the season with two wins against the Bulgarian side has quickly degenerated.
The Greek giants are now on a run of two losses in three matches. They also failed to score in the two defeats, dropping from the standards set in scoring six times in the opening two matches.
Panathinaikos will only be playing their third match in the Conference League. In the first two, in 2022, they didn’t manage a win.

Our Lens vs Panathinaikos Athens Prediction
Lens are coming from a win to start their season on a high after a good run in preseason. The French side will be billed the favorites here, as they have a good run at home despite their relative lack of experience in Europe.
Panathinaikos’ season has taken a turn for the undesirable in the past few weeks and this doesn’t promise to be an easier game by any means. They lost home and away to one French side in the Europa League last season and we may see the same here. Our prediction for Lens v Panathinaikos is for Lens to win.
