Olympiakos vs Arsenal: 3 reasons why the Greek outfit can cause an upset in the Round of 32 | UEFA Europa League 2019-20

#2 Olympiakos' attack-minded approach backed by recent European form

Youssef El-Arabi has scored eight goals in the Greek top division this season

Olympiakos will head into the fixture off the back of decent Champions League performances, so their confidence will be through the roof as they look to extend their flair to Europe's secondary competition.

The Greek giants proved themselves to be tricky opponents against the likes of Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League as they boasted of enormous grit and attacking prowess, scoring twice against the Bundesliga giants and four times against Spurs.

With joint league top-scorer Youssef El-Arabi spear-heading the Olympiakos attack and the likes of Mathieu Valbuena, Giorgos Masouras, and Daniel Podence providing the gunpowder, Olympiakos could make an easy task of terrorising the fragile Arsenal defenders with their pace and power. The Super League 1 leaders boast of the best goalscoring form domestically and that alone should be enough to leave the Premier League defenders on their toes.

Martins' offensive and high-pressure approach to the game will likely leave plenty of room for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gabriel Martinelli and Nicolas Pepe to exploit but if the Thrylos can apply the dynamic tactics they did against Spurs last week, they would easily be able to block any kind of space for their opponents.
