Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Olympiacos
The Greek club has drawn its last two Europa League matches against Rangers (1-1) and FCSB (0-0). Prior to this, Olympiacos secured two clean-sheet victories in the tournament. As a result, the team has kept a clean sheet in three of their last four group stage matches. Overall, they have conceded only three goals in the current Europa League campaign, fewer than only the tournament leaders Lazio and Athletic (2). Olympiacos is currently ranked 14th in the Europa League standings, just two points shy of the top eight.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 6 of Olympiacos's last 8 Europa League matches.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the second most prestigious European competition (5 wins, 1 draw).
- The team's scoring streak at home in the Europa League stands at 7 matches, with at least two goals scored in 5 of those games.
Twente
The club extended its winless run in the second most prestigious European competition to 13 matches (9 draws, 4 losses), losing 0-1 to Union in the previous round. Their streak of conceding goals in the Europa League has now reached 6 matches. Notably, Twente is among just 5 clubs in the group stage without a win. Joseph Oosting's side is ranked 29th in the Europa League standings, two points away from the playoff zone, with a negative goal difference of 4:7.
- No more than 2 goals were scored in 6 of Twente's last 7 Europa League matches.
- The team has not scored more than once in 10 of their last 11 matches in this tournament.

Olympiacos vs. Twente: Match Prediction
After a draw with Rangers, Olympiacos couldn't defeat FCSB away, though they were closer to victory, creating more scoring chances. At home, with the support of their fans, Olympiacos will have a much better chance of success. The team traditionally performs well at home, including in the second most prestigious European competition, where they have won 5 of their last 7 matches. Moreover, their upcoming opponent, Twente, is not the strongest. Twente has yet to win in the group stage (3 draws, 2 losses) and hasn't won in the Europa League for 13 matches.
Additionally, the Dutch club has shown unreliable defense, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 6 Europa League matches. In contrast, the Greek team scores effectively at home, finding the net at least twice in 5 of their last 6 home encounters.
Therefore, my prediction: 1X + Individual Total Over 1.5 for Olympiacos
