Olympiakos Preview – Can Olympiakos take a 1st leg lead?
Olympiakos will be hoping to build on their recent 3-0 home win over Lamia in the Greek Super League when they entertain Premier League outfit, Arsenal, in Thursday night’s 1st leg in this round of 16 Europa League tie.
However, recent results haven’t all gone Olympiakos’s way as the hosts have produced mixed results in the past few matches, winning three, drawing two and losing two – the two defeats were both away from home at Panathinaikos in the Super League and PSV in the last round of the Europa League.
Form at home in the Europa League has been pretty steady with just one defeat out of their last 13 ties at home but this defeat came in the shape of a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in last season’s tussle in February and a similar scoreline could unfold here.
Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal continue Euro run?
Despite their indifferent form in the domestic Premier League front, Arsenal have continued their momentum on the European stage as they prepare for this 1st leg of the round of 16 in the Europa League on Thursday night, and they bring a three-match unbeaten run into this tie.
Wins against Benfica (Europa League) and Leicester City 3-1 away in the Premier League along with a point away at Burnley should give The Gunners confidence that they can get a result in Greece and bring a lead back to London for the return leg.
Arsenal’s form away from home in the Europa League has also been solid as the visitors are unbeaten in their last eight ties on their travels, winning five of these.
