Olympiacos – Arsenal, Prediction – Europa League

💯 Olympiacos is showing remarkable stability this season as well

The first part of the championship in Greece ends on Sunday and Olympiacos’ goal is to achieve at least 5 more victories to be a sure champion, although frankly it is not clear what should happen for someone to move them from the first place, as both PAOK and AEK are not at this level during the campaign. Until recently, Olympiacos was not even defeated in the league, but the matches in Europe more or less had an impact on them.

⏩ In the Europa League, Arsenal must achieve results this season

Arsenal are on the ups and downs about their league results, but that’s normal. Arteta with his own approach suggested that this season for the gunners is transitional because he wants to impose a specific type of game in Arsenal and totally change the course compared to previous seasons of the team, which means risks and experiments in many from the matches in PL. In the Europa League, however, the players have a real chance for a trophy and a place in the Champions League, which would be a huge achievement for the Spaniard and for the club overall at the moment.

The gunners are better and we expect them to show it

 Expert view: Olympiacos and Arsenal have played in European tournaments many times this century. The two teams have played 10 matches in the last 12 years, so they are old acquaintances. Only the last 2, however, were in the Europa League, and all the others in the Champions League. The last two matches were exactly a year ago again in the elimination phase of the tournament. Then Arsenal won the first game in Greece with 1-0, but then unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home and was eliminated. Now we think they will qualify, so we will bet on them in the first clash, but our prediction is that Arsenal will score in the second half at 1.60.
