Olympiakos ace looking for Emirates win
Olympiakos ace Franco Costanzo has told
skysports.com that Arsenal do not offer as much threat as they used to.
The Argentina international goalkeeper is looking forward to the match-up in UEFA Champions League Group F, which sees the Greek giants travel to London.
Costanzo knows that the task awaiting his side is still not easy, but they are looking at getting a result at the Emirates.
"Arsenal is always is a dangerous team but this season they do not offer so much fear in attack as they did in past," he told
skysports.com.
"They have lost Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri and they are significant and will mean they get less chances in any match.
"But I still do not expect the habitual direct game from an English club, there is still a difference between the Gunners and other clubs.
"Arsenal in London always offer a lot of danger, but we travel looking to win - one point would not be bad, but we want three."
Qualification
Olympiakos lost their opening clash with Marseille, but Costanzo still insists they can qualify.
"This is a very important match for Olympiakos, to lose this would seriously effect our chances of making the next round," he said.
"The group is very equal and there is a chance to get through, every match is like a final.
"We played well and retain the ball well, but in Europe you need to score and that was our problem against Marseille.
"But this match there will be big pressure on both sides, because not getting that first victory will put extra pressure on for the next match.
"Arsenal are more vulnerable this season and Olympiakos could win if we play with intelligence."
