Mind games or a dodgy pitch

Burnley will train away from Olympiakos' Karaiskakis Stadium tonight as they prepare for their Europa League play-off tie in Athens.

The visiting team normally get to train at the home team's ground the night before European fixtures but the Clarets have been told to train elsewhere.

Sean Dyche and his players will visit the ground on Wednesday afternoon for a look around and to speak to the media, but they will then make the short trip to the Nea Smyrni Stadium - home of Greek Super League side Panionios - to train.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says Olympiakos' pitch is "not great" but insisted he was not worried about it.

Burnley trained at an alternative venue, the Panionios' Nea Smyrni Stadium, to give the surface at the Karaiskakis Stadium as much protection as possible for the first leg of their Europa League play-off on Thursday.

Olympiakos were granted special dispensation by UEFA over the pitch which has been described as "dry" and "patchy".

Looks Like Clarets Player will miss the first half...

"Clarets Player HD will have live commentary of the game from 7.45pm."

Olympiakos spend many millions per year in order to have a great surface. The problem is greek summer. You will see that the surface is awful in some spots but with 40+ Kelsius temperature this is sth expected. After September it will have its actual texture.

The pitch has been rigged to spoil our superior play on the ball. Whatever next?

Well, if u watch the highlights from Olympiakos against Lucern you ll see how ba is the condition of the pitch. You can then compare iit with the games we've given in champions league last year.
