Genk vs Olympiacos Piraeus Match Preview

Genk

Genk lost with a narrow 1-0 in the first leg, conceding a goal in the 1st minute, however, they were the better side on the pitch for almost the whole match. They had some great chances, especially in the second half, and a shot that hit the post in the dying minutes.

For the Belgian league, Genk won 0-1 over Cercle Brugge last Sunday after a rather mediocre game. In their six competitive matches in all competitions for this season, Genk have won two, drawn two, and lost two. They scored eight and conceded five in that period. Tolu Arokodare leads Genk in European qualifying this season with two goals.

Olympiacos

In last week's opening leg, Olympiacos emerged victorious 1-0 at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. Captain Kostas Fortounis scored the lone goal of the match only a few seconds after the starting whistle. With that win, Olympiacos broke a negative streak of seven winless European games (two draws and five losses).

That was the first competitive match for the Greek side for the season 2023/24, as the Greek Super League starts this weekend where Olympiacos face newcomers Panserraikos.
