Burnley set to head out of the Europa League
On Thursday night, Burnley host Olympiakos at Turf Moor in the Europa League play-off second leg.
The first leg of this tie ended 3-1 to the Greek side after the dismissal of Clarets centre-back Ben Gibson. The Premier League side is up against it to turn things around.
Burnley have made a poor start to their campaign, picking up just a point from their three Premier League games so far. The Europa League could prove to be a big distraction to the club from Lancashire.
The first leg defeat in Greece was the Clarets first of their Europa League campaign so far, as the home side had drawn all four of their previous games in 90 minutes, only progressing in extra time.
Four of the Clarets five games in this competition so far have produced under 2.5 goals in 90 minutes, so this game could be tight.
Olympiakos are experienced European campaigners having played in both the Champions League and this competition on multiple occasions in recent seasons.
The visitors have won their last three games in Europe’s secondary competition. The Greek side has scored at least two goals in all three of the victories. Olympiakos have been hard to beat in this competition, suffering just one defeat in their last seven matches in the Europa League.
Their recent games in this competition have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games, including their last four outings.
Olympiakos’ recent away form in the Europa League has been mixed, as the visitors have won just twice in the last five matches. Their last three away games in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low scoring draw, which would see Sean Dyche’s team exit the Europa League before the group stage.
