Olympiacos vs Bodø/Glimt Live: The Comeback Quest for Europa League Round of 16

In a high-stakes rematch, Olympiacos faces Bodø/Glimt at the packed “G. Karaiskakis” Stadium, seeking to overturn the 3-0 deficit from the first leg of the Europa League round of 16. The Greek giants are chasing an unprecedented feat in their club history—a miraculous comeback to reach the quarterfinals of the competition. Inspired by last year’s remarkable return against Fenerbahçe en route to their Conference League title, Olympiacos aims for another historic European achievement. However, head coach José Luis Mendilibar is without star striker Ahmed El Kabir, who was not included in the squad for this crucial tie. On the positive side, Dani García has returned to action, though Bambeu Kostoulas remains absent. A victory here—alongside securing the domestic Super League crown—would guarantee Olympiacos participation in next season’s Champions League group stage, unless Dortmund or Aston Villa win this year’s top-tier tournament. The winner of this thrilling encounter will face either Lazio or Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League quarterfinals, after Lazio edged out their Czech opponents 2-1 in the first leg.
