| 0' | Referee Michael Oliver starts the match for this 9:00 PM Europa League kickoff under the lights at the CEPAC Velodrome. Marseille are currently in thirty-first place after a heavy loss to Besiktas, while fifteenth-placed Olympiacos arrive with confidence following a win on the first day. Bruno Genesio's team lines up in a four-three-three formation, with forward Keyliane Abdallah starting, who has already scored this season. Imanol Alguacil sets up his Greek side in a four-two-three-one, relying on Roman Yaremchuk to add to his previous aerial goals. These two teams have not met recently, meaning tonight's clash is a fresh encounter with no recent history. |
