Olympiacos Team News

In the last match of the Europa League, Olympiacos drew 2:2 away from home with TSC Bačka Topolo. They took the lead in the 16th minute with a goal by Georgios Masouras, assisted by Daniel Podence, and doubled their advantage at the beginning of the second half with a goal from the assistant in the first goal, while this time the key pass was sent by Konstantinos Fortounis. The home team reduced the deficit in the 63rd minute, and eight minutes later, Olympiacos was left with a player less, as Andreas Ntoi received a red card. The final result was set by TSC in the 90th minute.

Before this match, Olympiacos lost to Freiburg at home with 2:3, and they are currently tied for third place with one point won. In the Greek Super League, they occupy the first position in the table with 19 points won, two more than the second-placed PAOK, but also one game less. In the last six competitive matches, they recorded three wins, two draws, and one loss.

Olympiacos will be forced to make at least one change as defender Andreas Ntoi will serve a one-match suspension for being sent off before the international break. Ecuador international Jackson Porozo looks likely to make the squad, while Francisco Ortega is an option at left-back.

Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee Daniel Podence will start on the left wing, having already scored four goals since joining last month.

West Ham Team News

In the previous match of the Europa League, West Ham defeated Freiburg 1:2 away from home. They took the lead in the eighth minute of the game with a goal by Lucas Paqueta, assisted by Jarrod Bowen, and the equalizer came at the beginning of the second half. The final result was set by Nayef Aguerd in the 66th minute, while the assistant this time was James Ward-Prowse.

West Ham occupies the first position in the table with the maximum number of points, because before the match with Freiburg, it also defeated TSC Bačka Topola at home 3:1. In the English Premier League, they are currently in ninth position in the table with 14 points won, five less than fifth-placed Aston Villa. In the last five competitive matches, West Ham registered three wins one draw, and one loss each.

Although manager David Moyes is likely to name a stronger European squad than usual, changes will continue to occur in his West Ham squad, including the appearance of Lukas Fabianski in goal.

Mohammed Kudus will certainly be involved in the attack, while Michail Antonio could get a chance at striker in place of Jarrod Bowen, who used that position against Freiburg. Tomas Soucek could play in the midfield position ahead of Edson Alvarez, as he was withdrawn during the last quarter of the game against Aston Villa.
