Dyche says Olympiacos are favourites to beat Burnley in the Europa League

SOUNDBITE (English): Sean Dyche, Burnley manager:
(About their Europa League journey so far)
"I think we've had a tough... well this is our third game obviously, or our third round. We've had a tough time of it really when you think (about it). We had a lot of noise about the Battle of Britain against Aberdeen, and when we played the Turkish side (Istanbul Basaksehir), they were a very good side, a very technical side. We're mixing our group as well, and then coming here and then back at Turf Moor. But, at the end of the day, I think that is part of the prestige of any tournament - it's when you play against the big names. As you rightly say, they have got a history here. They have got a knowledge of different variances in the European scene of football and that's probably in their favour slightly. But, on the other hand, we have a freshness, we have a newness about us. It's a new look for us to come and take these challenges on."
SOUNDBITE (English): Sean Dyche, Burnley manager:
(About facing Olympiacos)
"I think there's an energy. I think there is an energy that's demanded from the crowd, from what we know - due to the size of the club, the badge if you like. I think there's a tactical organisation: usually 4-2-3-1 and a variance of that with a floating number 10. They are a side that understands what the game is about. So it is a definite challenge playing this kind of opposition. But, on balance to that, we play against very, very powerful clubs in the Premier League, so it's not a challenge that's overwhelming by any means. It's just a challenge that we have got to make the players aware of."
