Olympiacos will host Nantes at the Karaiskakis Stadium in their final Group G game of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday (November 3).
The Ligue 1 side are third in the group and will make a final push to secure a place in the knockouts.
Olympiacos continued to strengthen their position in the upper echelons of the Greek Super League table, claiming a 2-0 victory over PAS Lamia. Míchel’s side have now won four of their last five league games to rise to third in the standings, claiming 20 points from ten games.
Olympiacos will look to continue this form in the Europa League, where they will be looking to bow out on a high after drawing two and losing three to sit rock-bottom in Group G.
Meanwhile, Nantes were held to a share of the spoils for the second straight game in Ligue 1, as they drew 1-1 with Clermont Foot at the weekend.
Les Canaris, who are unbeaten in their last four games across competitions, ended their three-game losing streak in the Europa League with a 2-1 victory against Qarabag on matchday five.
Nantes have picked up six points from five games to sit third in the group, one point off Qarabag in the knockout stage playoff spot.
