Olympiacos welcomes Maccabi Haifa to the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium for this second leg match in the Champions League qualification tournament. The home team will be slightly disappointed with the draw in the first leg as they conceded an equalizer deep into injury time. Nonetheless Olympiacos still hold an advantage coming into this match as they will be playing in front of their passionate home crowd. They were crowned Greek champions last season and won the league by a mammoth 19 points from the second placed team. Olympiacos have not been in the greatest of form in recent matches and have only won one of their last seven matches with three draws and three losses. Their home form however has been excellent as they have only lost once in their last 11 matches with six wins and four draws.

Maccabi Haifa will be buoyed by the late goal they scored in the first leg as it still keeps them very much in the running for this tie. A defeat in the first leg would have made it almost impossible to progress to the next round. As things stand they need a win to claim victory in the tie while a draw will take this match into extra time. Maccabi Haifa have had a string of poor results and have not won any of their last five matches, losing four and drawing one. Their away form is just as poor as they have lost four of their last five matches on the road.
