Last Saturday Olympiakos Piraeus beat Panionios with 4:3 scoreline and broke their three–match losing streak in all tournaments. Having been the regular titleholder of the Greek Super League in recent years, “Thrylos” currently sits on the fourth position in the Greek elite division standings with 11 points taken and 13-10 goal difference with seven rounds behind. In regards to the UEFA Champions League, Takis Lemonis’ team failed in both encounters played: 2:3 to Sporting and 0:2 to Juventus, having settled on the last fourth place in the group with zero points earned after two clashes. This season the Greeks got four triumphs, single draw and two defeats in seven away battles.
There are no doubts that the upcoming hosts will win the Sunday game as they are much stronger than the visitors from Greece. Moreover, it looks like the visiting side won’t even score in the upcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Olympiakos Piraeus not to score.
