Juventus will be through with a win in Piraeus, or if Sporting fail to gain victory; if the teams finish level on points, Juve have the superior head-to- head. • Olympiacos, beaten 2-0 in Turin on matchday two, have a single point from their five games and will finish fourth. Previous meetings • Juventus have won seven of the clubs' 11 previous encounters, including all five fixtures played in Turin, and lost only two. • Their most recent meetings before this season came in the 2014/15 group stage, when a first-half goal from Pajtim Kasami gave Olympiacos a 1-0 home win in Piraeus. • The teams at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis on 22 October 2014 were: Olympiacos: Roberto, Maniatis, Abidal, Botía, Masuaku, Milivojević, N'Dinga, Kasami (Giannoulis 90+1), Elabdellaoui, Domínguez (Fuster 85), Mitroglou (Afellay 69). Juventus: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Asamoah, Ogbonna (Pereyra 77), Pirlo (Marchisio 57), Pogba (Giovinco 87), Vidal, Morata, Tévez. • Juve, however, turned the tables in Italy, where goals from Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba either side of a Roberto own goal gave them the points despite Alberto Botía and Delvin N'Dinga scoring for the visitors. Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal missed an added-time penalty. • Juventus beat Olympiacos 7-0 when the clubs met in Turin in the group stage, on 10 December 2003. It remains the Bianconeri's joint biggest win in Europe and Olympiacos's heaviest loss. • Gianluigi Buffon watched from the bench that night but did play in Juve's 2-1 away success at the Rizoupoli Stadium in Athens. • Olympiacos's only other victory over Juve – 2-1 in Palermo in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup third round – was in a losing cause; they still went down 4-3 on aggregate. Match background Olympiacos • Olympiacos' sole point in Group D came in their last home game, a goalless draw against Barcelona. They were beaten 3-2 by Sporting on matchday one. • The Piraeus' club's record at home to Italian visitors is W3 D4 L4. The 2014 defeat of Juve aside, the most recent fixture was a 1-1 draw against SS Lazio in the 2007/08 group stage. • Olympiacos have won only three of their last 13 European home matches (D6 L4). • Olympiacos opened this season with a 5-3 aggregate success against FK Partizan in the third qualifying round (3-1 away, 2-2 home). They then got the better of HNK Rijeka in the play-off round, coming through 2-1 at home and 1-0 away. • That victory against the Croatian team was Olympiacos's first in five European games in Piraeus, ending a run of four successive draws on their own ground. • Olympiacos are in the group stage for an 18th time. They lost to Hapoel Beer-Sheva FC in last season's third qualifying round, the first time they had missed out on the UEFA Champions League group stage since 2010/11.
