Olympiacos v Burnley

my comment before last game it is still a big team in his own league. and always playing against weaker teams defending against them. this means, even burnley again does his great defence, olympiakos know ways to unlock it. and if somehow they get an early score, and a "burnley must score" situation...

Re: watching tonight's game

It also says they are playing a reserve keeper with Adebayor and Arda not in the squad which I didn’t know. Basaksehir goalkeeper (also Turkish National) Volkan is rumoured to be transferred to Besiktas. If he plays this game, he cant play for Besiktas at Europe League. That why he should be absent.
