Since the 2003/04 season, Olympiakos have won eight of the last ten domestic league campaigns in Greece, leading to an unprecedented dominance in the Superleague. In the current season, the club have won 24 of their 26 league matches and are yet to lose a match.

Manchester United are unbeaten in the Champions League so far, winning four and drawing two of their six games this season.
Olympiakos are unbeaten in their last 15 games having won 14 and drawn 1.
Ryan Giggs is only three games short of equalling Raul’s record of 142 appearances in the Champions League.

It would go a long way for United's confidence if they could go into Greece and emerge victorious in this game, both for their domestic campaign and in the Champions League. Frankly, the team may be better off without Mata, as he and Rooney are still trying to reconcile the fact that they enjoy playing similar roles on the pitch.
Olympiakos is no pushover, but this was still a pretty favorable draw for the Red Devils in the round of 16. Look for them to open with another much-needed win, 2-1.
