Olympiacos are to break their unbelievable 13 run without a win in Champions League against Lazio in Athens in front of an empty stadium.
Lazio are returning to the Champions League after a three-year absence following their successful 2006/07 Serie A campaign which was marred by the Calciopoli affair which ousted several Italy's giants of out CL race. Olympiacos are desperate to break their shameful 13 run without a win in Champions League and are counting on several new faces including Argentines Luciano Galletti and Cristian Ledesma. This clash will be played in front of an empty stadium after Olympiacos were handed a one-match crowd ban following violence at last year’s group match against AS Roma.
