Olympiacos and West Ham United return to action in Group A of the UEFA Europa League when they go head-to-head at the Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday (October 26).
The hosts failed to get their Europa League campaign up and running last time out, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Backa Topola, squandering a two-goal lead.
Before that, Diego Martinez’s men were on a three-game winning streak in the Greek top flight, where they sit atop the league table with 19 points from seven games. Olympiacos now return to action in the Europa League, where they're third in Group A, picking up one point from two games.
Meanwhile, West Ham were sent crashing back to earth on Sunday in a 4-1 hammering against Aston Villa in the Premier League. David Moyes’ men were on a five-game unbeaten run across competitions, winning three, including a 2-1 win over Freiburg in the Europa League on October 5.
