Match Overview
Olympiacos travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United in a UEFA Europa League game on 9 November. Both these teams are very nicely balanced and matched with each other and it will be quite challenging to decide who will end up winning it. West Ham will back themselves given that they will be playing in familiar conditions.
Key Highlights
These teams have already met each other earlier this year, in the reverse fixture of this game. Olympiacos were victorious back then by a slim 1-0 scoreline and will give anything for a repeat of the same here on Thursday. However, it will not be easy for them to do so given the strong West Ham defensive wall that manager David Moyes is bound to erect.
Injury Report
Kurt Zouma is the only doubtful starter for West Ham United whereas Olympiacos will have to make do without the likes of Omar Richards and Nicolas Freire among others.
Prediction
West Ham are the leaders of the league table at the moment with six points to their name whereas Olympiacos are perched upon the third position with just four points inside their kitty. If Olympiacos manage to win this game, they will be able to go on top of the table by dislodging the Hammers. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
