Olympiakos are on a BTTS streak and Tobias Gourlay fancies them to extend it in Nantes tonight

Nantes v Olympiakos
Thursday 20:00 (Live on BT Sport Digital Exclusive)

There were some rude awakenings in Frankfurt yesterday. Sporting Lisbon became the first Portuguese club in 16 to win a Champions League game in Germany. They blanked the hosts 3-0 to leave us short on our punt.

We've crossed the border and come to the west coast of French for a look at one of tonight's Europa League games. Nantes are hosting Olympiakos and we fancy both sides to get on the score-sheet.

Nantes haven't played any notable European football for decades, but they've made it to the Europa League this season. The Canaries' recent prep for their re-entry hasn't been great: they lost 0-3 hosting PSG at the weekend but that was first Ligue 1 game in five in which both teams didn't score.

Olympiakos have more European pedigree. Back in July they lost a Champions League qualifying tie 5-1 to Maccabi Haifi - drawing 1-1 in Israel. Since then they've played for Europa League qualifiers, which have finished 1-1, 2-2, 1-1 and 1-1. They're slight outsiders for this one, but we'll take them to notch again and help deliver BTTS for a fifth straight European game.
