Match Preview
Only a finish in the top eight positions will secure an automatic berth through to the knockout round in the Europa League this season. Olympiacos and Rangers are both well in contention to secure their spot after winning two of their opening three matches.
The advantage is firmly with the hosts on Thursday though based on their historical meetings with Scottish clubs. Olympiacos have won each of their last two home matches against SPL teams, keeping clean sheets on both occasions.
Meanwhile, Rangers have won just once in their last eight matches against sides from Greece. However, this will be their first clash with a club from the nation since a 1-1 draw against Panathinaikos in the UEFA Cup in 2007-08.

Rangers have been a promising team when in the lead in the Europa League this season. The Gers have registered 34 shots when ahead in matches, which is more than any other side in the competition. Meanwhile, it is 20 more shots than they have faced on their goal when being ahead.
Gers star Nedim Bajrami could be a player worth following for props selections this week. The Rangers forward has created more chances from ball carries than all but one player in the competition this term. His pace with the ball will be important if the Gers are to get anything from this trip to Greece.
Olympiacos vs. Rangers Picks
Rangers have endured domestic struggles in recent weeks, meaning that this could be a good time for Olympiacos to come up against the Scots. Based on their dominant record against Scottish sides, the preference is for the home win.
