Olympiacos Team News
In the derby of the Greek Super League, Olympiacos played a 1-1 draw with AEK away. The home team took the lead in the 22nd minute, but the visitors managed to equalize before halftime when Daniel Podence set up Ayouba El Kaabi for a goal. AEK also scored a second goal in the 59th minute, but it was disallowed after a VAR decision due to a handball, and the final result remained unchanged.
After four rounds played, Olympiacos is in first place in the Greek championship table with 10 points, one point behind second-placed Panathinaikos. In the first three rounds, they defeated Panserraikos 2-0, Atromitos and Lamia both 4-0.
Olympiacos has such depth in their squad that coach Diego Martinez has options available if he wants to experiment with the starting lineup. However, while Vicente Iborra may return in central midfield to add continental experience, Martinez could insist on retaining most of the players who started in Athens.
Daniel Podence played 54 minutes in his second debut for the club and may retain his place in the team, but Stevan Jovetic is likely to remain as a substitute after his switch from Hertha Berlin.

Freiburg Team News
Freiburg, in their last Bundesliga match, lost to Borussia Dortmund 2-4 at home. Borussia took the lead in the 11th minute, but the home team managed to turn the result around before halftime. Lucas Holer scored in the second minute of injury time, and four minutes later, Nicolas Hofler found the net, with Vincenzo Grifo providing the assists on both occasions. In the 60th minute, the visiting team equalized, and in the 82nd minute, Hofler received a red card. Shortly after, Borussia scored two more goals, making it the final score.
After four rounds played, Freiburg is in tenth place in the table with six points, three points behind third-placed RB Leipzig. Before the match against Borussia, they also lost to Stuttgart but achieved victories against Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim.
Regardless of whether coach Christian Streich keeps a three-man backline, playmaker Vincenzo Grifo may return to the starting lineup on the left flank or as a central creative player.
Kenneth Schmidt is in line to feature at center-back for Freiburg, while Kiliann Sildillia, Merlin Rohl, Maximilian Philipp, and Junior Adamu are all in contention for the lineup.

Olympiacos vs Freiburg Prediction
Freiburg is a slight favorite in this matchup due to their better head-to-head record and stronger squad on paper. However, Olympiacos has the advantage of playing at home, so we cannot confidently predict a win for the visitors. Therefore, our betting suggestion is a draw or an away win, with the expectation of at least two goals being scored, as an open game is anticipated.
