Preview
Wolves will be looking to go all the way to qualify for the Champions League when they face Olympiacos at the Molineux Stadium tonight.
Initially, after lockdown, Wolves were one of the best teams in the league but a run of 3 defeats from their last 6 matches dropped them down to 7th in the league. This could’ve given them European football for next season but Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph meant that Wolves couldn’t get it through the League.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, won the Greek title by 18 points. After pushing Tottenham in the Champions League, they shocked Arsenal at the Emirates to progress in the competition. A 1-1 first leg result will give them hope tonight.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are small favourites to win this match tonight but Olympiacos may make things very difficult for them.
Match Prediction: Wolves 2-1 Olympiacos
Unavailable: Semedo (suspension).
No injuries for Wolves.
Probable playing XI
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Patricio, Boly, Coady, Dendoncker, Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Doherty, Traore, Jimenez, Podence
Olympiacos: Sa, Tsimikas, Cisse, Ba, Elabdellaoui, Guilherme, Bouchalakis, Camara, Masouras, El-Arabi, Valbuena
Top picks
Jimenez: The Wolverhampton Wanderers talisman was the leading goal scorer, joint- 2nd highest goal scorer and the chief penalty taker for the club, which makes him a favourite for captaincy.
Traore: After showing his quality in the league, Traore will look to announce himself on the European stage.
El Arabi: The Olympiacos striker smashed several records in the Greek Super League this season. He will be hungry to get on the score sheet tonight.
Doherty: The Wolvesright wing-back is the standout defensive asset from his team having scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in Europa League this season.
