The Round of 32 in the UEFA Europa League will be completed on Thursday night and we have 16 matches to enjoy. One of which takes place at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal welcome Olympiakos to London for the second leg of their tie.
The Gunners are in the driving seat having won the first leg 1-0 in Greece and will believe they have what it takes to get the job done and progress to the next round.
Having defeated Olympiakos last week, Arsenal returned to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon at home against Everton. Arsenal fell behind to an early goal but fought back to take the lead only to concede again just before half time. However, a goal early in the second half by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was enough to seal the points.
That result means Arsenal are undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions. They have won 6 of those matches including each of the last 3. In addition to the two victories highlighted above, Arsenal defeated Newcastle United 4-0 at home in the Premier League and prior to that they were held to a 0-0 draw at Burnley.
Arsenal may have lost their most recent home game in the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt but generally they have a good record. Trends show Arsenal have won 7 of their last 8 home Europa League matches. They have scored 3 or more goals in 5 of their last 7 Europa League games at the Emirates Stadium but have kept just one clean sheet in their last 4.
Olympiakos returned to winning ways on the weekend in the Greek Super League. They travelled to PAOK, who are challenging them for the title and came away with a good 1-0 win. That result means Olympiakos have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions with the only defeat coming against Arsenal in the first leg of this tie.
In fact, the loss to Arsenal is the only defeat Olympiakos have suffered in their last 19 games in all competitions. Interestingly, their previous defeat was also against a north London club as they lost 4-2 to Tottenham Hotspur In the Champions League.
Olympiakos are undefeated in their last 10 away games in all competitions but each of those fixtures were in Greece. They lost all 3 of their Champions League away group games this season and have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches in the Europa League.
Team news and Arsenal are without the injured trio of Calum Chambers, Cedric Soares and Kieran Tierney. Sead Kolasinac is a doubt due to a shoulder injury.
Olympiakos have doubts over Vasilios Torosidis and Al arbi Hilel Soudani who are suffering from a virus and knee injury respectively.
This is a match which Arsenal are expected to win, especially given the result in the first leg. The Gunners should score a few goals but form suggests they could also concede despite winning the game.
