    Olympiakos v Juventus: Preview

    Olympiacos goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez Gago has stressed the importance of his team returning to winning ways in the Champions League when it hosts Juventus on Wednesday.

    The Greek outfit lost 2-0 at Malmo last time out having previously won its Group A opener 3-2 against Atletico Madrid.

    Olympiacos lie fourth in the standings, level on three points with all three group rivals after two games played.

    With last season's runners-up Atletico favourites to win the pool, Jimenez Gago is aware his team needs to see off the Italian champions to enhance its chances of a top-two finish.

    ``We are going to give everything to beat Juventus,'' the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper said to Gazzetta dello Sport. ``This game is very important and we cannot fail.

    ``We came close to reaching the quarter-finals last season and we want to reach that stage this time around.

    ``Juve is a top club just as Atletico is but in our stadium, we can beat anyone.''

    Olympiacos have lost just two of their previous 10 Champions League home games and have beaten the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal in Piraeus in recent seasons.

    ``The Karaiskakis stadium is a little bit like Atletico's Calderon stadium,'' Jimenez Gago said. ``The fans really help the team and we really feel they can give us a hand.

    ``We know we are not the strongest team in the competition and that is why we need the support of our fans and they deliver.''

    The hosts head into the encounter in buoyant mood after Saturday's 3-2 win at Ergotelis lifted them to third place in the Greek Super League, three points adrift of leaders PAOK FC.

    Juve, meanwhile, have never lost to Olympiacos in Greece but the Bianconeri have fallen in four of their last five away games in Europe's elite club competition.

    Massimiliano Allegri's side travels to Greece having seen its perfect run in Serie A come to an end in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sassuolo.

    The outcome saw Juve's lead at the top of the league table cut to one point after seven games played.

    ``We've taken a step back but we are ready to get back on track,'' Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci said on his official website. ``Now we face a Champions League final and I think this game arrives at the right time for us.

    ``We will go to Athens hungrier than ever.

    ``Atletico have lost there but we only have one thing on our mind and that is to win.''

    With Fernando Llorente struggling with a back problem, Allegri is set to hand Spanish striker Alvaro Morata his first start. Morata will play alongside Carlos Tevez in Juve's attack.

    The Italians will be bolstered by the return of Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal, who missed the clash at Sassuolo with fatigue.

    The visitors are without injured defenders Andrea Barzagli and Martin Caceres while Olympiacos will be at full strength.

    Pajtim Kasami secures victory for Olympiakos over Juventus

    Olympiakos edged Juventus 1-0 on Wednesday night in Piraeus after a first-half goal from Pajtim Kasami.

    The Swiss midfielder struck in the 36th minute to hand his team three valuable points in the Champions League.

    The outcome has left Michel's side level on six points with Atletico Madrid at the top of Group A after three games played. Atletico thrashed Malmo FF 5-0 in Spain.

    Juventus failed to test Olympiakos goalkeeper Roberto Gago in the opening half but had plenty of opportunities to equalise after the re-start yet failed to convert any.

    Juve encountered a hostile atmosphere at the Karaiskakis Stadium and lost to Olympiakos for the first time in Greece.

    The Italians have dropped to third in the pool, three points adrift of the leaders.

    Arturo Vidal returned to the starting XI for Juve after the Chilean midfielder was rested in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sassuolo.

    Alvaro Morata earned his first start for the Italians, playing alongside Carlos Tevez up front.

    The hosts had the first chance of the game in the seventh minute when Alejandro Dominguez's curled effort was kept out by Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

    Juve almost took a 12th-minute lead when Morata headed the ball down and in the direction of Tevez.

    The Argentinian's goal-bound shot was blocked by defender Omar Elabdellaoui on the goal-line with Gago already beaten.

    At the other end, Luka Milivojevic's hard drive from 30 yards was tipped over the bar by Buffon.

    The Italy national team captain was called on again to make a save midway through the first half and had to clear Kasami's powerful strike from long range.

    Olympiakos' efforts paid off when a play started by Dominguez saw Kostas Mitroglou set up Kasami just outside the area.

    He then hit the ball towards the near post and out of Buffon's reach.

    Juve looked more dangerous in the second half and should have pulled level when Paul Pogba set up Stephan Lichtsteiner in the box but his effort went wide.

    Before the hour mark, Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri brought on Claudio Marchisio in place of Andrea Pirlo.

    Tevez was denied the equaliser in the 75th minute when his right-footed attempt was saved by Gago.

    Five minutes later and Gago again came to the rescue when he kept out Morata's 12-yard shot from the centre of the box.

    With four minutes remaining, Morata fed Tevez just outside the area and his powerful attempt was saved by Gago as Olympiakos held on for their second win in Group A.
