The UEFA Europa Conference League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Olympiacos and Ferencvaros lock horns at the Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday.
Dejan Stankovic’s visitors have flown out of the blocks this year and will head into the midweek clash looking to make it four wins from four games in 2024.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, returned to winning ways in style as they steamrolled OFI Crete 4-0 in the Greek Super League last Saturday.
This result came after their 2-0 defeat against Panathinaikos at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on February 4, which saw their run of two consecutive league wins come to an end.
Olympiacos were dumped out of the Europa League after finishing third in Group A with seven points from six matches and will now look to get underway in the Conference League on a positive note.
Ferencvaros, on the other hand, enjoyed an unbeaten Conference League group-stage campaign as they picked up two wins and four draws from their six matches.
However, Stankovic’s men finished as runners-up in Group F, losing out on top spot to Italian outfit Fiorentina by just two points.
Ferencvaros head into Thursday’s game off the back of picking up a third victory on the bounce after seeing off Debreceni 2-1 in the Hungarian top flight.
