Olympiacos and Genk will face each other in the first leg match of their Europa League third qualifying round clash on Thursday, undoubtedly standing out as one of the most interesting matchups of this stage. Although Olympiacos is about to play in their first competitive fixture of the season, Genk has already experienced disappointment in the Champions League.

Olympiacos has a recent history of clinching Greek titles, providing them with many opportunities to play at the grand stage of European football. However, in the 2022-23 season, the Red-Whites managed only a third-place finish, requiring them to secure victory in at least one qualifying round to secure a spot in the group stage. While domestic competitions have yet to kick off, Diego Martinez’s team has played in several friendly matches.

Genk is still recovering from the heart-wrenching loss of the Belgian title on the last day of the previous season. Unfortunately, their start to the 2023-24 season has been underwhelming, with a loss in one of their first two league matches and an early exit from the Champions League. Despite strong signings during the summer, Genk’s team chemistry is still not perfect, which could potentially level the playing level in a game against opponents who are eager for competitive action.
