Olympiakos v Burnley

Post by claretblue » Thu Aug 23, 2018 9:18 am

Match facts

Burnley will be the eighth different English team to face Olympiakos in European competition, but the first outside of the Champions League since 2005, when Newcastle lost both legs against them in the last 16 of the Uefa Cup.

Burnley are unbeaten in their four European games under Dyche (W2 D2), keeping a clean sheet in both legs of the previous round against Istanbul Basaksehir.

English sides have won two of their past 10 away games in Greece in European competition (D4 L4), however those have come in the most recent two.

Olympiakos have lost just one of their 10 games in Uefa Cup/Europa League qualifying, winning nine of those, including both games in 2018-19 (4-0 and 3-1 v FC Luzern).

On home soil, Olympiakos have a 100% records in Uefa Cup/Europa League qualifying, winning their five games by an aggregate score of 15-3.

Jack Cork is Burnley's top scorer in the current Europa League qualifying campaign (two), including netting the winning goal in the previous round against Istanbul Basaksehir (1-0).

Those stats are not very encouraging. Time for the clarets to spoil the greeks’ home record.

Hadn't Istanbul Basaksahir only failed to score twice in 30 odd home games before they played us.

Thinking the same thing regarding referee. A bit of a homer or just not very good.

Bardsley played well in the last Europa game, but that free kick was sheer recklessness.

Question marks over the wall as Heaton was moaning about his view there.
