Olympiakos Piraeus Arsenal betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (8th Finals) after having eliminated PSV with a away loss by (2‑1) and a home win by (4‑2) in the previous round. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Lamia by (3‑0). Olympiakos Piraeus has won 9 and tied 1 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 9 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Olympiakos comes to this clash motivated after winning, by 3-0, against Lamia, in a game counting for the Championship of Greece: the goals of the team were signed by Youssef El Arabi, Bruma and Konstantinos Fortounis. It should be noted that the Greeks eliminated PSV in the last round of the Europa League. Normally, coach Pedro Martins chooses an offensive team, lined up in 4-3-3, with Mathieu Valbuena, Youssef El Arabi and Bruma being the most offensive references. One of the great valences of the home team is the ability to create danger across the flanks, however, the defensive line has committed some serious flaws. Avraam Papadopoulos, Marios Vrousai and Rúben Semedo are absent from this match due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: José Sá, Sokratis, Oleg Reabciuk, Kenny Lala, Mady Camara, Mathieu Valbuena, Andreas Bouchalakis, Yann M'Vila, Giorgos Masouras, Bruma, Youssef El Arabi.
Coach: P. da Mota Vieira Martins.
