Prediction: 1-0
Twente
Prepare for a thrilling ambiance at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium when Olympiacos and Twente go head to head in the Europa League round 6. The Thrylos faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Volos at the weekend and they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s clash as well. Ukraine international Roman Yaremchuk remains in the recovery room, while pacey forward Gelson Martins has overcome his problem.
The Reds, on the other hand, suffered a massive 6-1 loss to PSV and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the Greeks are going to pick up all three points from the match. When the two teams met in a friendly nine years ago Olympiacos defeated Twente 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. The likes of Taha, Unnerstall, and van Wolfswinkel have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the away team, whereas defender Bart van Rooij is back from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Olympiacos):
Olympiakos are regarded as one of the biggest club in Greece. The Thrylos were founded back in 1925 and they play their home games at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. The capacity of the stadium is 33 296. In 2016 Olympiakos won their 43rd Greek Superleague trophy and it has to be noted that they clinched their sixth consecutive domestic title.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1999 as they participated in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Red and whites were beaten by Juventus in the two-legged tie. It is well known that Panathinaikos are considered the club’s bitterest rivals and the two teams share a great and long-standing rivalry.
The likes of AEK and PAOK are regarded as Olympiakos’ fierce opponents as well. The likes of Javier Saviola, Kevin Mirallas, Darko Kovacevic, Lomana LuaLua, Joel Campbell, Rivaldo and Marko Pantelic are notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Olympiakos fans are friends with Red Star Belgrade supporters.
