HOSTS WARY WOUNDED SIDE WILL FIRE AFTER SHOCK LOSS
OLYMPIAKOS defender Omar Richards has warned his side: "Aston Villa will hit us hard."
The Lewisham-born left-back has told his team-mates that Unai Emery's men will tonight believe they can still qualify for the Europa Conference League final.
The Greek outfit grabbed a surprise 4-2 win in last week's semi-final first leg as they chase a maiden European crown.
But Richards, 26, who joined on loan for the season from Nottingham Forest, has already explained to his colleagues that the British mentality is to never accept defeat.
He said: "We know what Villa will bring. We know it's only the first part of the tie and that they're going to out even stronger in the second leg, come SO we will be ready for that. There's a big job to be done.
It was a great achievement to win the first one we played with no fear.
