This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Olympiakos Piraeus with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super League. That game was also an away game, at PAS Giannina. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats

Olympiakos was sent out of Europa League in the 8th finals last season, when Arsenal turned out to be too strong.

Olympiakos Piraeus are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 9 points in the bag from 3 travels in the Super League. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Things are running smoothly for Olympiakos Piraeus who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against PAOK.

Olympiakos play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting PAS Giannina. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins when Youssef El Arabi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Panathinaikos.

Olympiakos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

After this away game Olympiakos return home for a Super League game against PAOK. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
