Hopefully our Champions League football ‘experience’ is more convincing.
A bizarre comment to make about a side that made it to the final in the previous competition – but that’s the truth.
Most of Spurs’ time in Europe during the 2018/19 run was spent wincing, …and trying to solve mathematical permutations.
There are mutterings online about this game being an opportunity for Poch to mix up personnel a little, but surely it would be beyond daft not to build on Saturday’s feel good factor?
There’s another issue at play here, our hosts on Wednesday night aren’t rubbish.
Since 2009-10, Olympiakos have won five of their six European home matches against English opposition (L1), with three wins against Arsenal and one apiece against Manchester United and Burnley.
Their only defeat in this run came in a UEFA Champions League Group Stage match versus Arsenal in December 2015 (0-3)
Olympiakos have won their last five matches in European competition (all qualifiers); they have never won six consecutive such matches in their history, add to this they currently sit top of the Greek Super League after three games – so this isn’t a foregone conclusion.
