As part of the Europa League group stage match, the players of Eintracht and Olympiacos will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the opponents' chances of success in this duel.
Eintracht
The Eagles players in the last season of the German championship were able to take the final fifth place, which allowed Eintracht to play in the Europa League. The start of this tournament for today's hosts was successful. A draw with Fener, as well as a victory over Antwerp, brought 4 points and the second place in the standings. In the national championship, everything is not going well for the Eagles. After 8 matches played, the hosts have only 1 win and 5 draws, which brought Eintracht eight points and 14th place in the standings.
Olympiacos
Last season, the Greek team was able to win the Greek champion title for the 45th time, but the start in the LCH was not the best. At the qualification stage, the Greeks could not cope with Ludogorets, which sent Oli to the Europa League. Legend won both meetings of the first stage of the tournament, which brought six points and the first place in the standings. In the last round, the guest team presented a surprise, defeating Fenerbahce with a crushing score of 3:0.
