West Ham vs Olympiacos lineups and latest team news
West Ham
West Ham played another poor game on Saturday losing 2-3 vs Brentford. Yet again the high number of defensive errors led to this outcome. The Hammers have now lost 4 of their last 6 games, while able to win just once.
One of those 4 defeats was the 1-2 away loss vs Olympiacos in round 3 of the group. It was the very slow start that decided this match with West Ham convincingly outplayed in the first half in Athens.
West Ham have 6 points in the group so the manager is expected to rotate and rest some of the regulars yet again. The only injury concern is for centre-back Zouma. If he is to miss the Greek defender Mavropanos could start against his countrymen.
Predicted Lineup – Fabianski (GK), Kehrer, Mavropanos, Ogbonna, Creswell, Soucek, Alvarez, Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta & Bowen
Olympiacos
Olympiacos resurrected their hopes in the group with a deserved 2-1 home win vs West Ham in the last round. Scored twice early on and despite missing numerous chances to add more goals this was enough. Now have 4 points in the group and all to play for.
Olympiacos continue to score goals with great ease but they remain very shaky defensively too. Both these things were in full display again at the weekend when a tense Athens derby vs PAOK was lost 2-4.
Centre-back Ntoi missed the last match in Europe suspended but he can return now. This is important as the regular starter in defence Freire remains in the treatment room. Also, the pair of main full-backs in the domestic league Leidner and Biancone, plus Fadiga and Brnic are ineligible to play in Europe.
Predicted Lineup – Paschalakis (GK), Almeida, Retsos, Ntoi, Ortega, Hezze, Camara, Podence, Fourtuonis, Alexandropolous & El Kaabi

Player to Watch: James Ward-Prowse
West Ham’s playmaker James Ward-Prowse is known for his deadly set pieces. One thing Olympiacos always give away easily is free-kicks in dangerous areas. This should give Ward-Prowse more than a handful of chances to impact the match with his dead-ball deliveries or direct free-kicks, so he is our choice for a player to watch.
