Olympiakos vs Rangers Predictions

Olympiakos should prove too strong in a likely high-scoring Europa League contest.

A home win is my preferred pick, and I expect a minimum of three goals scored.

Olympiakos won 5 of their last 6 home matches (Europa League)
Olympiakos have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 5 home matches (Europa League)
Rangers lost 3 of their last 6 away matches
Rangers have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches (Europa League)

Head to Head

Olympiakos and Rangers will meet for the first time on Thursday.

Olympiakos Form

Olympiakos turn their attention back to the Europa League after a nervy 2-1 win against

Panserraikos in the Greek Super League last weekend. Ayoub El Kaabi's second-half goal secured a less-than-convincing win for the Legend.

José Luis Mendilibar's side remain unbeaten in six home matches played this season (W4, D2).

After starting their Europa League campaign with a 2-0 defeat against Lyon, the Greeks responded strongly, securing consecutive victories over Braga (3-0) and Malmo (1-0).

Olympiakos Team News

José Luis Mendilibar could make some changes to his selection after post-match criticisms of his side's performance in the weekend win against Panserraikos.

Willian and Yusuf Yazici remain long-term absentees for the home side.

Rangers Form

Rangers arrive in Greece after a morale-boosting League Cup victory against Motherwell on Sunday. Trailing at the interval, the Gers showed plenty of spirit to claim a 2-1 win at Hampden.

Phillipe Clement's side have proven up and down in recent weeks, with four wins and three defeats recorded from seven fixtures played since the start of October.

Placed 11th of 36 teams in the Europa League, the Gers eased to a comfortable 4-0 win against FSCB a fortnight ago.

Rangers Team News

Rangers boss Clement has a handful of potential absentees this week. Oscar Cortes, Ridvan Yilmaz and Rabbi Matondo are ruled out while Ross Mccausland and Tom Lawrence face late fitness tests.

Ineligible Brazilian forward Danilo also misses out.

Verdict

Olympiakos v Rangers

Home advantage should prove crucial in Thursday's Europa League contest.

I'm backing the hosts to win, while I also anticipate at least three goals scored.
