In a mid week match in week 6, on Thursday Nov 3rd, Nantes and Olympiakos will play a match in Piraeus in a Europa League match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Olympiakos is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Freiburg. Youssef El Arabi struck first for Olympiakos in the 17th minute, then Lukas Kübler tied it up for Freiburg in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Christian Günter squeezing out at least the one point for Freiburg. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while in their last match, Nantes recorded a 1-1 draw against Clermont. Neto struck first for Clermont in the 54th minute on a feed from Jérémie Bela, then Mostafa Mohamed tied it up for Nantes in the 73rd minute squeezing out at least the one point for Nantes. Nantes looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
On the 8th of September, Nantes hosted Olympiakos at the Stade De La Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau in their last match together. Nantes was victorious by a score of 2 to 1. Mostafa Mohamed scored the first goal for Nantes in the 32nd minute, but Samuel Moutoussamy got the equalizer for Olympiakos on an own goal in the 50th minute.
Igniatius Ganago has been the most effective weapon for Nantes lately. The Cameroonian attacker has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. 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.
