Olympiacos has only gathered one point in the first two Europa League matches, drawing with “Bate Topola” (2-2) in the last game. In the first match, they couldn’t break “Freiburg’s” defense (2-3). Currently, the Greeks are in third place in the group, ahead of the Serbian team based on goal difference. It’s evident that they need to secure points in both matches against “West Ham” to keep their playoff hopes alive. The “red and white” team excels in attack, regularly creating many dangerous opportunities, and their finishing is also top-notch. However, all the efforts of the forwards are often nullified by the defense, which consistently falters. In the match against “Bate Topola,” Diego Martinez’s men were leading, but in the second half, defender Andreas Ntoya was sent off, after which the opponents managed to equalize. Today, this player won’t be on the field due to suspension. The day before the European Cup match, “Olympiacos” played a crucial match against “Panathinaikos” in the Super League. The game was interrupted due to fan disturbances with a 1-1 score. Nevertheless, the team tops the league table with 19 points.
West Ham started their Europa League campaign with two wins, immediately taking the lead in the group. They first managed to defeat “Bate Topola” at home (3-1). In the second round, they secured a hard-fought victory away against “Freiburg” with a score of 2-1. It should be noted that the “Hammers” didn’t perform flawlessly in defense in these matches. In the Premier League, David Moyes’ team has noticeably slowed down, with only one win in their last five matches. At the moment, the team sits in ninth place in the table with 14 points. In the previous round, they couldn’t put up much of a fight against “Aston Villa,” suffering a 4-1 defeat. Their defense is a weak point, as evidenced by conceding 16 goals in nine rounds.
