Olympiakos wants a historic final

Until the current season, the Greek team only got as far as the quarter-finals of the Europa League, never going further. At the moment, however, Olympiakos is on the verge of a historic success, after a great performance at Villa Park, the European cup champions are on a very good path to the Conference League final. As part of the Greek league, Thrylos had their match rescheduled so that they could fully concentrate on the biggest match in the entire history of the Greek club. The fact that they don’t lose at their stadium also works in their favor, out of the last 10 matches they left only 2 times without a point, the remaining 8 matches ended in wins.

The biggest offensive threat for the home team, as in the opening match, will be Moroccan Ayoub El Kaabi, who scored a hat trick. In total, he has already scored 8 goals in the Conference League and is tied for 1st place in the scoring table with Israeli Eran Zahavi.

Aston Villa will know the Greek hell

If there was one thing Birmingham fans wanted before the opening game, it certainly wasn’t to lose, why? The fans at the Olympiakos stadium, who will support their team even before the opening whistle and will not let the stars of the English Premier League sleep. In addition, the Villains lost to Brighton at the weekend, so they are not traveling to Greece in a completely ideal state of mind. The players already knew in the opening match that Olympiakos will not be an easy opponent, and they will become an even tougher opponent at their home stadium.

Ollie Watkins is undoubtedly the biggest attacking threat in Unai Emery’s side. Relying only on the Englishman, however, may not pay off at all, as he is also experiencing a decline in both playing and shooting. If Aston Villa wants to succeed, other players like Moussa Diaby, Leon Bailey or Douglas Luiz will also have to perform.

Olympiakos vs Aston Villa odds

Bookmakers Tipsport lists odds of 3.39 for Olympiakos at home, 4.18 for a draw and 1.97 for a win from Birmingham.

Betting Tip – Both teams will score

Neither team currently has a solid defensive line, so fans can expect goals from both sides. Olympiakos showed in the opening match that they have to be reckoned with, and thanks to Aston Villa’s terrible away record, they shouldn’t lose this time either. Bailey made his mark against Chelsea, he was not far from scoring in the Villa Park game, he is likely to find the back of the net this time.
