Olympiacos v Freiburg is a match valid for the first day of the Europa League group stage: TV, streaming and predictions
The Greeks and Germans also faced each other in the Europa League group stage last year. A draw in Germany, Freiburg’s victory on Greek soil, a three-nil victory that left very little room for comment at the time. This time, however, things might be a little different.
No, we are not saying that Olympiacos will win the match, but the host side certainly won’t be so easy to beat, especially given their general moment of form. In fact, there are eight useful results in a row so far for the Greek team, between the league and various preliminaries played until now. An extraordinary moment then, unlike that of the Germans, who arrive at this match having taken four goals in the Bundesliga from Borussia Dortmund: not a good calling card. And it is the defensive tightness that worries the Freiburg coach, given that another defeat has also arrived in the league, this time five-nil against Stuttgart, albeit away. But it doesn’t matter, if you concede so many goals it means that there is something to improve.
And since you can’t work miracles in such a few days, it’s easy to imagine that the match for the first round of the Europa League group stage could give you a lot of goals. Yes, on that we don’t think there can really be any argument.
