Olympiacos visit Marseille in Europa League on Thursday, 15 October, kickoff 22:00
Olympiacos travel to the Vélodrome on Thursday, 15 October, looking to build on a 2-1 opening win over Jagiellonia. Marseille must do without Derek Cornelius and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, both injured.
Kickoff at the Vélodrome
Olympiacos travel to Marseille for the second matchday of the Europa League League Phase, with kickoff set for 22:00 on Thursday, 15 October, at the Vélodrome. Marseille announced their squad only a few hours before the match. The game will be broadcast live on Magenta Sport 4 and ANT1, and Newsit.gr and SPORT24 plan live coverage. Marseille are still seeking their first three points in the competition, having lost 4-1 away to Beşiktaş in their Conference League League Phase opener.
Absences and Olympiacos form
Bruno Genesio must manage two absences for Marseille. Derek Cornelius, a Canadian defender, is out with a hip injury and is expected to be unavailable for several weeks. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, a Danish midfielder, is recovering from a muscle injury and cannot help his side in this fixture. Olympiacos opened their campaign with a 2-1 comeback win over Jagiellonia at the Karaiskakis Stadium and come into the match after a 1-0 derby win over Panathinaikos.
Other Greek fixtures
OFI face Rennes away on the same evening, also at 22:00, with coverage on Magenta Sport 5. OFI began their Europa League campaign with a win over Hoffenheim, but they were beaten 3-0 by AEK in the sixth round of the Super League. Panathinaikos host Borac Banja Luka at 19:45 in the Conference League, the earliest of the Greek European fixtures on the day.
