Team news and probable line-ups before Tuesday's Champions League matches in Group D:
OLYMPIAKOS v REAL SOCIEDAD
Olympiakos have a doubt over ball-winner Ieroklis Stoltidis, the influential midfielder scoring before coming off injured in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Panathinaikos.
The Greek champions will be without suspended captain Predrag Djordjevic, with Andreas Niniadis a possible replacement. In defence, rightback Tassos Pantos is expected to return after an injury lay off.
Sociedad lost a 20-month unbeaten home record in the league on Saturday, going down 2-1 to Real Mallorca, but all will be forgiven if they beat Olympiakos to reach the knockout phase.
Igor Gabilondo will take over from injured winger Javi de Pedro on the left flank, while defender Lionel Potillon will also miss out through injury. But influential winger Valery Karpin, centre-back Gabriel Schurrer and keeper Sander Westerveld should all shrug off minor niggles. Probable teams:
Olympiakos: 22-Fanis Kateryiannakis, 3-Stelios Venetidis, 30-Tassos Pantos, 18-Paraskevas Antzas, Giorgos Anatolakis, 5-Christian Karembeu, 6-Ieroklis Stoltidis, 4-Andreas Niniadis, 14-Dimitris Mavrogenidis, 7-Neri Castillo, 10-Giovanni.
Real Sociedad: 25-Sander Westerveld, 14-Aitor Lopez Rekarte, 7-Igor Jauregi, 6-Gabriel Schurrer, 3-Agustin Aranzabal, 4-Xabi Alonso, 18-Bittor Alkiza, 8-Valery Karpin, 17-Igor Gabilondo, 9-Darko Kovacevic, 15-Nihat Kahveci.
Referee: Alain Hamer (Luxembourg).
