The first leg ended Olympiakos Piraeus-Genk 1-0. All is set for the decider in this Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round fixture!

These teams have little in common geographically as Olympiakos Piraeus have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Genk have less rest than Olympiakos Piraeus in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pro League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Cercle Brugge, so at least Genk are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

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.
