Olympiacos vs Ferencvaros: UEFA Europa Conference League Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
Olympiacos and Ferencvaros will face off in the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday. Despite finishing third in their Europa League group, Olympiacos faces a managerial change, with Carlos Carvalhal being dismissed after just 11 matches. While winning five and drawing three of the first 10 games seemed acceptable, a 2-0 defeat to Panathinaikos led to the change. The recent 4-0 victory over OFI has maintained Olympiacos in fourth place in the Greek top flight, trailing third place by five points.
Newly-appointed coach Jose Luis Mendilibar, formerly of Sevilla, understands the need to make an immediate impact in his new role. Olympiacos entered the Europa Conference League after falling short of West Ham United and Freiburg in their Europa League group before Christmas. On the other hand, Ferencvaros performed admirably well in a Europa Conference League group that included Fiorentina and Genk, remaining unbeaten with two wins and four draws.
They finished two points behind Fiorentina and crucially one ahead of Genk. Dejan Stankovic’s team has prepared for this playoff with three consecutive domestic victories, scoring 10 goals in the process. Despite their strong offensive display, Ferencvaros did not manage to keep a clean sheet in any of the mentioned wins, sitting just one point behind the top spot in their domestic league.
