Marseille - Olympiacos

Neal Maupay spearheads the Marseille attack as they host Olympiacos on 15 October 2026 for this Europa League matchday 2 encounter. The hosts arrive at Stade Orange Velodrome looking to build on their recent 2-0 victory over Troyes, a result that offered a necessary response after a difficult run in both domestic and European competition. However, the absence of Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg in midfield forces a tactical adjustment for the side as they seek to improve upon their opening European performance against Besiktas.

Olympiacos travel to France in solid form, having secured a narrow 1-0 win against Panathinaikos in their most recent outing. Despite the significant loss of Ayoub El Kaabi to injury, the visitors rely on the experience of Stefan Ortega and Remo Freuler to maintain their momentum. With a history of tight, low-scoring affairs between these two clubs, the outcome will likely hinge on which side manages the midfield battle most effectively.
