Domestically, Monaco also remains competitive, sitting 4th in the French league with a 7-3 record, comfortably positioning themselves for a playoff push.
Olympiacos

Despite the setback, Olympiacos remains a formidable team in both Europe and Greece, where they are second in the domestic league, boasting 7 wins in 8 matches.
