Previous meetings • Both games ended in a 1-0 away win when the teams were paired together in the 2011/12 group stage. Marseille's Lucho González scored the only goal in Piraeus on Matchday 1; Giannis Fetfatzidis did the same for Olympiacos at the Stade Vélodrome when Mathieu Valbuena, now at Olympiacos, played 71 minutes for the French team. However, it was the French side who progressed, finishing second behind Arsenal on ten points – one ahead of Olympiacos. • Marseille also came out on top in the teams' 1994/95 UEFA Cup first round tie, winning 2-1 away and 3-0 at home. Form guide Olympiacos • Olympiacos are in the group stage for the 20th time. In 2019/20 they finished third in their section behind eventual champions Bayern München and Tottenham Hotspur, picking up four points to finish one ahead of Crvena zvezda. • Pedro Martins' side then earned a famous win against Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League round of 32, progressing on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw (0-1 h, 2-1 a), but came unstuck against another English club in the last 16, losing to Wolves (1-1 h, 0-1 a). • The Piraeus club made it four UEFA Champions League play-off wins from four ties by defeating Cypriot club Omonoia this season (2-0 h, 0-0 a). • Those results stretched Olympiacos's unbeaten run in European qualifying fixtures to 18 matches (W14 D4), home and away, since a 1-0 loss at Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. They had won all seven matches in the UEFA Champions League play-offs before this season's draw at Omonoia. • Champions of Greece for the 45th time in 2019/20 – their first title since 2017 – Olympiacos also lifted the Greek Cup for the 28th time to complete their 18th domestic double. • Olympiacos last faced French opponents in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage, losing 4-1 at home and 2-1 away against Paris Saint-Germain. That reverse in Piraeus made it five defeats in their last six home games against Ligue 1 clubs. • Three of Olympiacos' first six games against French clubs ended in draws, but none of the last 22 (W8 L14). Marseille • Marseille are making their tenth appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage, but their first since 2013/14. Three of those previous nine campaigns have extended into the knockout rounds, including the inaugural edition in 1992/93 when OM became the first, and so far only, French side to win the European Cup. • Marseille most recently made the knockout stages in 2011/12, when they reached the quarter-finals. • Seven years ago, OM finished bottom of their group behind Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli, losing all six games. • That extended Marseille's losing run in the UEFA Champions League to nine matches. Their last success in the competition was a 1-0 home victory against Internazionale in the 2011/12 round of 16 first leg. • Second in Ligue 1 in 2019/20, Marseille have not taken part in UEFA competition since 2018/19. Then they finished bottom of a UEFA Europa League section also including Eintracht Frankfurt, Lazio and Apollon Limassol with one point having lost five of their six matches.
