Fixture: Olympiakos Piraeus vs Osmanlispor
Competition: UEFA Europa League 2016-17
Date: Thursday, 16th February, 18:00 GMT
Stadium: Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki.
Olympiacos Piraeus ended on the second position in their Group B in Europa League. That was one of the easiest groups in this competition with Apoel, Young Boys and Astana. The Greek champions suffered two defeats in the group stage, both against the first placed Apoel. However, Olympiacos are in excellent form since that – they are without a single defeat on 14 matches, winning 10 of them including the last four league matches in a row. Coach Bento has some issues ahead of this match. He will be without suspended Manuel da Costa. In addition, Cambiasso, Diogo Figueiras and Andre Martins are struggling with injuries. Midfielder Luka Milivojevic, who spent two and a half years in Olympiacos, left the club during the winter transfer window and joined Premiership side Crystal Palace.
Osmanlispor secured placement in Round of 32 as the first placed in Group L leaving behind them Villarreal, Zurich and Steaua Bucuresti. They were undefeated at home but have achieved just one victory on the road. The last results in domestic league and cup matches are not impressive. They lost four from seven matches and were eliminated from the cup competition. Papa Alioune Ndiaye has returned from Africa Cup of Nations duty and could start here. There are two absentees, with left back Tiago Pinto and right winger Aminu Umar out due to injuries.
