Europa League 2024-2025: Olympiacos-Bodo Glimt, the likely lineups

Olympiacos-Bodo Glimt, the probable formations

Olympiacos and Bodo Glimt return to face each other in the return leg of the Europa League round of 16. Kickoff at 6:45 p.m. at the 'Karaiskakis'. The Norwegians, on the strength of a 3-0 win in the first leg, are with one foot in the quarterfinals, while the Greeks will be looking for a feat in front of their home crowd. Whoever goes through will face the winner of the challenge between Lazio and Viktoria Plzen.

Mendilibar opts for a 4-2-3-1 to try an unhoped-for comeback: in attack there will be no El Kaabi, still unavailable, and he will be replaced by Yaremchuk, with Chiquinho acting as support in the three-quarter. The midfield will see the pair Mouzakitis and Hezze. Absent due to injury are Garcia and Yazici.

On the other side, the Norwegian team will try to maintain its lead by adopting the usual 4-3-3: up front, Hogh will be in the center of the trident, flanked by former Milan Hauge and Blomberg. In defense, Nielsen will be next to Gundersen in front of goalkeeper Haikin. Bassi, Vetti, Burakovsky and Fet will not be available.

Probable lineups

Olympiacos (4-2-3-1): Tzolakis; Rodinei, Biancone, Carmo, Ortega; Hezze, Mouzakitis; Martins, Chiquinho, Palma; Yaremchuk. All: Mendilibar.

Bodo Glimt (4-3-3): Haikin; Sjovold, Nielsen, Gundersen, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Saltnes; Blomberg, Hogh, Hauge. All: Knutsen.
