Čukarički and Olympiacos will face off in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Europa League Play-offs.
Čukarički might be expected to break through the defense of the Olympiacos lineup, although scoring just one goal may not be enough to offset the potential number of goals they could concede.
Čukarički is preparing for this match following a 0-0 draw in the SuperLiga against Radnik Surdulica.
In their previous six games, under the leadership of Aleksandar Veselinović, Čukarički has managed to score a total of 7 goals, giving them an average of 1.17 goals per match.
In terms of player availability, Čukarički’s manager Aleksandar Veselinović has only one fitness concern to address from an almost fully fit squad. Unfortunately, Jovanovic will not be available for contention.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 2, Lost: 2, Scored: 4, Conceded: 10, Clean Sheets: 1.
Olympiacos will enter the upcoming match on the back of a convincing 4-0 victory in the Super League against Atromitos.
Olympiacos’ defensive efforts have been commendable, resulting in a total of 2 goals conceded in their last 6 matches. During this period, they have managed to score 12 goals themselves. However, given the variability of each game, it remains to be seen if this trend will continue in this match.
Unfortunately for Olympiacos’ manager Diego Martínez, several players will be unavailable due to injuries. Androutsos, Fadiga, Leidner, and Hassan will miss out on this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 4, Draw: 1, Lost: 0, Scored: 11, Conceded: 2, Clean Sheets: 3.
The match will be played at the Stadion na Banovom brdu.
