In this 2nd week match, on Thu Sep 15th, Olympiakos will play host to Freiburg in a Europa League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which may be tiring for the players. In their last match, Olympiakos recorded a 1-2 loss against Nantes. Mostafa Mohamed struck first for Nantes in the 32nd minute on a feed from Ludovic Blas, then Samuel Moutoussamy tied it up for Olympiakos on an own goal in the 50th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10, while freiburg is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Borussia M’gladbach. Neither Freiburg nor Borussia M’gladbach could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 13 and 16 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Freiburg should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Vincenzo Grifo has been the most prolific scorer on Freiburg in the last five matches with three goals. Philip Zinckernagel and Samuel Moutoussamy are the top scorers for Olympiakos in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
