Team news
Wolves have faced three defeats in their last six matches led to a seventh place finish in the Premier League, so Nuno Espirito Santo’s team will not be in the Europa League next season.
Joao Moutinho will most probably start the game for the Midlands outfit, and manager Nuno will need him to front his strongest starting XI.
Wolves have reported no injuries or suspensions but their road to European success should they reach it will be a tough one.
Olympiacos will be without Ruben Semedo, the centre-back is suspended after getting sent off during the first leg.
Bruno Gaspar is expected to come into defence with Guilherme and Mady Camara battling in the centre of midfield whilst Youssef El Arabi leads the charge as lone striker to get those needed away goals.
Latest odds
Wolves to win – 7/10
Draw – 12/5
Olympiacos victory – 9/2
R. Jiménez to have 4 or more shots and to score in the second half – 17/5

This would mean fifth and sixth spot in the Premier League would likewise be entering into the European competition.
But not seventh. And that is exactly where Spurs sit in the standings.
If Chelsea win the FA Cup then because they are in the top four, it would mean seventh place WOULD qualify for the Europa League.
Of course Spurs could still finish sixth, but they need Wolves to slip up.
There are THREE scenarios that could play out in the clubs’ respective final Premier games of the season that would see Jose Mourinho’s side grab sixth.
The first is if Spurs beat Crystal Palace and Wolves draw with Chelsea.
The second is Spurs beating Palace and Wolves losing to Chelsea.
And the final one is a Spurs draw with Palace and Wolves lose to Chelsea.
But if Arsenal win the FA Cup and Spurs end up in seventh, Mikel Arteta and co will have denied their fierce rivals as much as £40MILLION for getting into Europe.
HOW SIXTH SPOT WILL BE WON
Tottenham and Wolves are chasing the last Europa League spot. Here is who will get sixth from every scenario of their final games.
Spurs beat Palace, Wolves beat Chelsea = WOLVES
Spurs beat Palace, Wolves draw with Chelsea = SPURS
