Form guide
Olympiacos have won five in a row, including 1-0 against Panathinaikos and 1-0 at Marseille in the Europa League last week. They won their opening Europa League game 2-1 against Jagiellonia, so they have six points. Their games are tight: five of their wins this season were 1-0, and eleven of their last twelve competitive games had four goals or fewer.
Sparta Prague have four points from two Europa League games after a 4-1 win at Ararat-Armenia and a 1-1 home draw with Lillestrøm. They are unbeaten in seven, though their last two games were draws, including 0-0 at Baník Ostrava at the weekend. Their heaviest defeat this season was 3-0 at home to rivals Slavia Prague.
Head-to-head
We found no previous meeting listed between the two clubs.
Team news
Olympiacos are without striker El Kaabi, who has a broken leg, and Yazıcı. Sparta have a long list of defensive problems, with Soh, Martinec and Aririerisim out and two more defenders doubtful.
Our prediction and why
Our main tip is under 4.5 goals. Olympiacos keep games tight, and eleven of their last twelve competitive games stayed at four goals or fewer. Without El Kaabi, a goal-fest looks even less likely.
Other bets to consider
Olympiacos or draw (1X) is our second pick. Olympiacos have won five in a row and are perfect in this competition. We use double chance because Sparta are unbeaten in seven.
