Olympiacos and Fenerbahce have met four times previously in all competitions. The Greeks won the last two encounters with Fenerbahce, played during the 2021-22 season.
Will our score prediction back Olympiacos to win at home in their Conference League quarterfinal first leg?
It would be a coup for either of these teams to reach the Conference League final and ultimately lift the tournament’s trophy. Thus far, clubs from the top-five leagues in Europe have won the Conference League.

Roma won the tournament in its inaugural season, and West Ham claimed the spoils last term.
With the Turkish Super League and Greek Super League both falling down the pecking order in terms of strength in Europe, winning the Conference League could be a major boost to one of the competitions.
Olympiacos will welcome Fenerbahce following back-to-back wins in the Greek Super League. A 3-0 win over Aris was followed by a 5-1 victory over Lamia.
The Legend are three points off top spot in the Super League. It is a tight race in Greece, with Olympiacos battling PAOK and AEK Athens for the title.
Fenerbahce are also in a title fight domestically. The Canaries are second, two points behind Galatasaray. The two old foes have reignited their hatred for an exciting title race in Turkey.
Striker Edin Dzeko has turned back the years at Fenerbahce this season. The 38-year-old is Fenerbahce’s goal scoring stats leader with 21 goals in all competitions. Former Chelsea player Michy Batshuayi has chipped in with 13 goals.
Forward Dusan Tadic has 12 assists, and is Fenerbahce’s chief goal creator. Fener reached the quarterfinals with a last-16 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise. A 3-0 win in the first leg was followed by a 1-0 loss in the second match-up.
Olympiacos are led in goals by the prolific Ayoub El Kaabi. The Moroccan has 25 goals in all competitions this season. Former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Daniel Podence has added 13 to the Olympiacos cause.
The Greeks defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in the round of 16 in an incredible tie. Olympiacos won 7-5 on aggregate but needed extra time in the second leg to pull off the victory.
After losing 4-1 in the first leg, Olympiacos won 6-1 in the second. Former Manchester City and Inter Milan forward Stefan Jovetic scored the winner.
Olympiacos will be backed by their fans, the same supporters that cheered them to a 6-1 victory in the second leg round of 16 match versus Maccabi. Our score prediction is for Olympiacos to win 2-1 at home and take an advantage to Turkey for the second game.
