Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş remains cautious ahead of the Europa League second leg of round of 16 tie with Olympiacos, despite a promising draw in the first game in Greece. 

"Of course we will start the game in a solid manner, not taking many risks," Doğan News Agency quoted Güneş as telling his squad ahead of the March 16 game. 

Olympiakos and PAOK saw their chances for a spot in the last 16 of the Europa League diminish dramatically after the first-leg games on Thursday, as Olympiakos drew 0-0 at home with Osmanlispor and PAOK lost 3-0 in Thessaloniki to Schalke.

In a weekend of an unexpectedly high fan turnout at most Super League stadiums, Olympiakos put three past struggling Iraklis to stay 13 points ahead of PAOK and Panionios, who also won at home, while Panathinaikos was unable to win at PAS Giannina and dropped to fifth.
