Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Olympiacos
Groupama Arena will be centre of attention when Ferencvaros and Olympiacos go head to head in the Europa Conference League last 32. The Greens are on a four-game winning run in the national championship, but they failed to spoil Olympiacos’ party at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in the first leg. Forward Adam Halmai continues to miss out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Thrylos, on the other hand, rolled over PAOK 4-1 in the Greek Super League derby at the weekend. Olympiacos have been improving offensively week by week and we are positive that they will find the net in Thursday’s clash. Taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered. As for the away team, Morocco international Ayoub El Kaabi is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the triumph over PAOK, while both Gelson Martins and Bandiougou Fadiga are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Kostas Fortounis):
Born in Trikala Greece on 16 October, 1992, Kostas Fortounis made his senior debut for his hometown club Trikala in the 2009/2010 Gamma Ethniki campaign. After playing 13 games for the club he moved to Asteras Tripolis at the end of the season.
In 2011 the Greek midfielder moved to Germany, signing a deal with Kaiserslautern. Fortounis made 70 league appearances for Kaiser, scoring two goals from 2011 to 2014. On 22 July, 2014 he returned to Greece, signing a four-year contract with Olympiacos. It has to be noted that he played for the Thrylos during his youth career (2003-2008).
Kostas Fortounis made his Greece debut against Belgium in February, 2012 and he represented his homeland at the 2012 European Championship finals. However, he was left out of the Greece 2014 FIFA World Cup squad. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a winger as well. Fortounis won two Greek Superleague titles (2014/2015, 2015/2016) with Olympiakos.
Highlighted Team (Ferencvaros):
Established back in 1899, Ferencvaros are the most successful Hungarian club. The Zold Sasok clinched their 30th domestic trophy in the 2018/2019 season, but they eventually failed to book their place in the Champions League. Dinamo Zagreb proved to be a big catch for Ferencvaros in the Champions League play-offs, but the Green Eagles booked their spot in the Europa League group stages for the first time ever the same season.
Ferencvaros are well known for their green and white home kit, but they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. Ujpest are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, whilst Ferencvaros and MTK Budapest face each other in the Eternal derby.
Honved are seen as the club’s bitter rivals as well. Back in 1975 the Zold Sasok made it to the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup, with the team losing to Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev in the title game. Sandor Kocsis, who scored 75 goals in 68 appearances for the Hungarian national team, is the club’s most notable footballer.
