Peter Green - October 23, 2018
F91 Dudelange vs Olympiacos
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 25th October 2018
Kick-off at 17.55 UK/ 18.55 CET
Venue: Stade jos Nosbaum, Dudelange.
F91 Dudelange, the championship prospect of the Luxembourg league takes on Greek side Olympiacos. The visiting team will have great hopes regarding this match considering the inexperience of the home team.
Pitted in a group against Real Betis and AC Milan, both these teams have found it hard to register points.
Olympiacos has a solitary point so far while Dudelange have had to be satisfied with nothing in their account.
A result in this match is needed at all cost if the Group F of the Europa League needs to get competitive.
The guests are the overwhelming favourites for this tie. The Luxembourg team needs a few more seasons in Europe before they become a threat to the major players in the continent. Olympiacos has been in the European scene for a far long time and knows how to deal with each challenge.
The match will be predominantly controlled by Olympiacos. Expect no mercy from them as they too are desperate. With just one point on the table for them, they would not take this match lightly.
Goals will be scored in either halves of the game. With their tendency to concede in every match, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the net is found frequently by the veteran Olympiacos forwards.
