Olympiakos
With obvious defensive problems, the red and whites from the beginning of this year. They conceded a goal for yet another European game, but at least Huang's goal gives them reasonable hopes of qualifying for G. Karaiskakis. For the 1st matchday of the Greek Super League, PAS Ioannina faced relatively difficult conditions in the capital of Epirus. Apart from Abubakar, Papastathopoulos, Vrsaliko and Mandi Kamara.
"The team is making and has made steps. We haven't reached the level we want yet, but I think that the steps that are being taken are in the right direction. There are no big differences, because these are two teams that like to have the ball and play football. It's about who can and who can't do it. Our intention is to attack, because by creating chances you are closer to the goal, while defensively we don't want to give chances to our opponent." were the statements of the Spanish coach of Olympiakos.
APOLLON LIMASSOL
The championship in Cyprus has not yet started (on 30/8) and this leaves the Cypriots relatively behind in terms of readiness, but they have so far several European qualifiers under their feet. In Apollon they know how difficult their mission is today and that they will face an Olympiakos who wants to give answers. Dabo and Spoliaric are both injured.
"We have to have a complete performance, in attack and defense. We will give weight to the attack because we have to score. But some mistakes, like the ones we had in the first half, we have to avoid. I believe we can qualify", were his statements Spanish technician Katala.
ASSESSMENT
In Olympiakos there is no more margin for error and qualification to the Europa League groups is a one-way street. Apollon will try to surprise and score something that will bring Olympiakos back to the wall. I think the red and whites will try to get an early lead to control the match.
