Olympiakos will put their 100% record in the UEFA Europa League on the line as they travel to the Deutsche Bank Park for a Group D clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. The hosts have struggled for consistency this season and Olympiakos will be confident of coming away from Germany with something.
Eintracht Frankfurt claimed a 1-0 victory over Antwerp in their previous Europa League fixture. They were made to work hard by the Belgians and laboured for much of the contest before Goncalo Paciencia struck the winner in added time.
Although Frankfurt are still unbeaten in the Europa League, things have not been particularly smooth this season. Oliver Glasner’s men have not been at their best in the Bundesliga and are currently in the bottom half of the table.
Frankfurt have been hampered by a lot of draws lately and have been held four times in their last five home matches. They have also struggled in defence with no clean sheets in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions.
Olympiakos have a perfect record in the Europa League with two wins from their opening two matches. They triumphed 2-1 over Antwerp in their opening fixture before easing to a 3-0 victory over Fenerbahce in their second outing.
The Greeks have been almost unstoppable this season as are currently setting the pace both in the Super League and on the continent. They are unbeaten in both competitions and travel to Frankfurt off the back of a 2-1 victory over PAS Giannina in their previous domestic fixture.
Olympiakos often do well on their travels and are unbeaten in their last 11 away matches. They have also struggled defensively conceding in four matches in that run.
