TEAMS PREVIEW

Arsenal FC Preview

With Arsenal coming into this match after a high-level victory, they will be full of confidence to face an easier side. A group that is led by Buyako Saka up-front, he is going to return after being rested for the first match, and should build on a 6-goal Champions League tournament last time out. 

With Noni Madeuke, 14 progressive passes received, being a great addition to help them get more attacking power ahead, it has also helped free up space for Victory Gyokeres. 

Two-way midfielder Martin Odegaard will make his return as well, while their back-line should once again be extremely dominant. Knowing that William Saliba remains a top-notch defender, having Jurrien Timber, 5 tackles, next to him will make goalie David Raya unstoppable. 

Arsenal Probable Starting Lineup - David Raya(GK), Jurrien Timber(D), William Saliba(D), Gabriel(D), Myles Lewis-Skelly(D), Martin Odegaard(MD), Matin Zubimendi(MD), Declan Rice(MD), Buyako Saka(FW), Victor Gyokeres(FW), Noni Madeuke(FW). 

Olympiacos F.C Preview

For Olympiacos, this side has already tried to create some upsets during this tournament and is hoping to do it once again. With Ayoub El Kaabi having 2-3 excellent shots at net last match, he really proved how dangerous he can be when getting closer to the net. 

With Dani Garcia’s connection, helping develop a better standard, they have both shown great ability to build chemistry during pressure situations. Knowing that this keeps going on, one very underrated aspect has been Daniel Podence, 14 progressive passes, as he continues bringing the ball forward and really dropping it into the right locations. 

Their most important piece in the last match, he proved his greatness in creating offense, while also getting support with the return of Gelson Martins. On that back-line, two pieces that really stand out are Panagiotis Restos, 100% slide tackle accuracy, and Rodinei, to help goalie Konstantinos Tzolakis be a tremendous goalie. 

Olympiacos FC Probable Starting Lineup - Konstantinos Tzolakis(GK), Rodinei(D), Panagiotis Restos(D), Fransisco Ortega(D), Chiquinho(MD), Santiago Hezze(MD), Daniel Podence(MD), Gelson Martins(MD), Dani Garcia(MD), Stavros Pnevmonidis(FW), Ayoub El Kaabi(FW).
