Olympiacos Piraeus
West Ham United
Contents
- Competition: Europa League
- Date: 26th October 2023
- Kickoff: 17:45 UTC +1 / 18:45 CEST
- Venue: Karaiskakis Stadium
On Thursday, Olympiacos will host West Ham United in Group A of this season’s Europa League group stage, providing them with an opportunity to secure their first win.
Last season marked the end of the hosts’ three consecutive Greek Super League titles, as their winning streak came to a halt. Determined to reclaim their crown, the Red and Whites have commenced the current season with an impressive start, emerging victorious in six out of eight league matches played thus far. They remain the sole unbeaten team in the league. However, their fortunes differ in European competition. During the Europa League group stage, Diego Martínez’s team suffered a defeat against Bundesliga side SC Freiburg and could only secure a draw against Backa Topola on matchday two.
West Ham United, who have maintained a flawless record in European competitions this season, will be welcomed by the hosts. Despite being involved in the relegation struggle last season, David Moyes’ squad achieved remarkable success in Europe, emerging as winners of the Conference League. The ongoing season appears to be following a similar pattern for them. While they proudly hold a perfect record in European matches, their performance in the league has been less impressive, with only one victory in their last five games.
Olympiacos vs West Ham United Betting Tips: West Ham to win
Although Olympiacos is currently in good form, they consistently disappoint in critical matches when playing at home. Their recent record on the European stage signifies this, with only two wins in their last six home games and four defeats.
West Ham United proudly showcase an impressive track record in both home and away matches across Europe. It would be unwise to place bets against the Hammers, considering their remarkable victory in 16 out of their previous 17 European fixtures.
- Best Tip: Away win
- Olympiacos vs West Ham United prediction: 1-2

West Ham United team news
David Moyes, the manager of West Ham United, is anticipated to implement extensive alterations to the team that started in the Premier League match against Villa last weekend, which resulted in a humiliating defeat.
Kurt Zouma, a former Chelsea defender, did not participate in that game, making him one of the potential beneficiaries of this reshuffle.
With six goals, Jarrod Bowen has emerged as the top scorer for the Hammers this season and deserves to retain his spot in the starting lineup.
