Preview
Olympiacos lost the 1st leg clash 2-1 at the Gewiss Stadium last Friday where Soares gave the visitors a lead before Djimsiti’s brace turned the game around.
This was Olympiacos’ first defeat in the last 5 matches across competitions; as they eye a turnaround.
The Greek side got back to winning ways on the weekend when they beat NFC Volos 1-0 away through Valbuena’s effort.
Olympiacos’ win keeps them at the top of the table with 58 points; gaining a 11-point lead over 2nd place, PAOK.
On the other hand, Atalanta lost their previous Serie A clash 1-0 away to Fiorentina. Piatek scored the only goal to inflict a 5th loss of the season.
La Dea has lost 3, won 1 of their last 5 matches across competitions and with the injuries; look a vulnerable side in the 2nd leg.
It’s now or never for either side as a place in the Round of 16 beckons.
