Olympiacos look to rebound from a domestic slump as they host a resilient Jagiellonia Białystok side in a high-stakes UEFA Europa League season opener.
Olympiacos begin their UEFA Europa League campaign by welcoming Jagiellonia Białystok at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
Olympiacos head into this game on the back of a 1-0 home defeat against OFI Crete in the Super League Greece, which saw them drop to 6th in the league standings. Kenan Kodro's lone strike stood as the difference between the two sides while the Red and Whites attack, led by new signings Armando 'La Hormiga' Gonzalez and Jota Silva, failed to open the scoring for their outfit. The loss meant that Olympiacos had only picked up two wins from the four Greek top division matches this season.
Imanol Alguacil will miss Ayoub El Kaabi and Joel Roca for the match due to respective injuries. Kostas Fortounis will serve a suspension. Lorenzo Scipioni is unavailable for selection after being left out of the European list.
Stefan Ortega is set to feature in between the sticks.
Alguacil got two full training sessions ahead of the OFI fixture, and this was one of the major reasons behind the result. He can expected to implement his entire gameplan in the Europa League next.
Meanwhile, Jagiellonia come into this match following a 2-0 defeat to Wisla Krakow. They have already undergone seven games into the season, losing thrice in the process and picking up four victories.
The Polish top-flight outfit began their European campaign in the Europa League Qualifying phase against Rangers, winning the game by a aggregate margin of 3-2, and then beating Iberia 1999 on a 6-1 scoreline.
Jagiellonia will be without the services of Ousmane Sow as he nurses a muscle injury. They have most of their big names available to feature in the match, but head coach Adrian Siemieniec is expected to rotate his squad.
Sławomir Abramowicz is set to continue his presence guarding the goal.
