Olympiacos vs Jagiellonia team news and expert analysis
The Piraeus club won the Conference League under their current coach, Mendilibar, and reclaimed the league title in 2025 after a three-year wait. However, they were unable to defend it, finishing second in the spring. They began the current domestic campaign with victories in both the league and the cup. However, they drew with Volos before surprisingly losing to OFI in the latest round.
The Bialystok side won their only league title two years ago. However, they finished only third in the previous Ekstraklasa campaign. In the new season, they have alternated wins with defeats. They also lost 0-2 to Wisla in Krakow.
The Greeks began their Champions League campaign a month ago. They drew both matches against NEC. However, in Nijmegen they conceded a decisive goal in extra time, eventually dropping into the less prestigious European competition. The Poles started here from the outset and, somewhat surprisingly, eliminated Rangers (2-1 and 1-1), after which they beat Iberia 1999 twice.
