It is important to note that PSV have hosted Greek opposition seven times previously in European competition and have never lost (W6 D1). The only side to avoid defeat were Panathinaikos in 2014-15 during the group stages of this competition.
PSV have been eliminated from seven of their last eight UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League two-legged knockout ties when losing the first leg (excluding qualifiers); the only exception in this run, however, came against Greek opposition – PAOK Salonika in the 2001-02 UEFA Cup last 32 (lost first leg 3-2, won second 4-1).
Also, PSV have won just one of their last five home matches in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League (D3 L1), losing their most recent such match against Zenit St Petersburg in 2014-15.
Olympiakos have faced Dutch opposition five times away from home in European competition and have never scored (D2 L3).
None of Olympiakos’ 10 away games in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League to date have finished level, winning four times while losing on six occasions.
This match promises to be highly entertaining. Expect a win from PSV, though they might not qualify, if the away goals come into play.
