Olympiakos Piraeus welcome the visitors AC Milan in the Europa League Group Stage – Round 6. The match will be held on Thursday, December 13th, at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus).
A few days back, Olympiakos Piraeus did not manage to get an away win over Xhanti in their national league. Not many people doubted the favorite’s victory, but the game turned to be shameful and nervous for the guests – they were conceding along the match and succeeded to draw just in the end (1-1). Moreover, Olympiakos got one expulsion and lost important points all in all. Their Europa League position is yet worse – they practically have no chances for progression with a tally of 7 points, running 3 points behind the 2nd place occupied by AC Milan.

As for the latter, in this season, they are doing a way better than before. In their national championship, Milan conceded only thrice, all defeats being to strong opponents – to Napoli, 2:3, then to Inter, 0:1, and to the champion Juventus, 0:2. Milan are currently 4th in the Serie A, competing with the most fearsome rival Inter for the 3rd place. Milan look nice in their attack lately, but the conversion rate is not great. In the coming clash, they are considered favorites – winning the Europa League opponent away is quite doable for the ‘Rossoneri’.
If the Olympiakos look to take the 2nd line in the table, they need to do the impossible – to win the visitors with a lopsided score. Their first head-to-head in Milan ended in 3:1. Now the Greeks have to fall over themselves and win 3:0 at least. Should they win 3:1, the goal difference will be considered. The task is getting far more complicated due to the fact that the guests need to win as well – to take the better 1st place in the group. In our view, Olympiakos can hardly win the motivated Milan, given their performance in the last Serie A match against Xanthi. The guests’ win with 0.0 handicap looks most realistic.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win with 0.0 handicap.
