We have met Olympiakos (OL) 3 times in all competitions (W1 D1 L1), most recently drawing 2-2 on MD1 of this season’ EUFA Champions league (CL). We had gone 2-0 up in this match before OL pulled 2 goals back to claim a draw.
We are unbeaten in our last 5 games in European competition against Greek teams (W3 d2), having lost 2 of the previous between 1972 AND 2011 (d1). OL lost their only previous away match against us – losing 0-4 in October 1972 in the EUFA Cup. Indeed, OL have only ever won once in their 14 away games against English teams in European competition (W1 D1 L12), winning 3-2 vs Arsenal in Sept 2015 in the CL. We have never drawn a CL group stage game at home. We have won 10 and lost 4.
OL are winless in 12 CL games (W0 D2 L10), although one of the two games in which they have avoided defeat in this run was against us on MD1, the 2-2 draw.
Son has scored 5 CL goals this season – he is the first Asian player to reach the tally in a single season in the competition.
