Arsenal hosts Olympiacos Piraeus in the second leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 18th at Emirates Stadium (London)
Arsenal took Tottenham on visitors on Sunday. And Mikel Arteta managed to beat Jose Mourinho! The rival was quite good, and Lamela opened the scoring, performing a rabona. But the Gunners managed to answer that goal just before the break. Martin Odegaard (a winter newcomer) used Tierney's pass and shot between Alderweireld's legs. And the decisive goal came after a penalty, which the Special One challenged in the post-match interview with might and main. It was already the 5th unbeaten match and the 4th victory for Arteta's charges. Two of them happened in the Europa League (3-2 with Benfica and 1-3 with the Greeks).

Olympiacos Piraeus is no longer fighting for anything in the local arena. There is simply no one to fight with. The usual competitors (Panathinaikos, AEK, and PAOK) do not shine. After 26 rounds, the leader's advantage is equal to 16. Taking into account that Olympiacos lost only one game and tied four times, no one believes that such a huge advantage will be lost. The Greeks also showed a rather good game in European Cups - third place in the Champions League group and elimination of PSV in the Europa League 1/16 finals. But the Legend didn’t manage to offer battle to Arsenal. El Arabi, the club's top scorer, responded to the goal by Odegaard. However, Gabriel Magalhaes unexpectedly rocked at the end. The newcomer scored himself and then assisted Elneny, but the main thing was a cool shot from an Egyptian from 25 meters.
Arsenal jumped ahead in head-to-head matches - six wins versus five for the Greeks. Curiously, the club that came to visit the opponent won for the fifth time in a row. Of course, the Gunners should not miss such an advantage. But the Greeks are unlikely to give up without a fight. And we think that the teams will please with open football and a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
