Prediction: 2-0
Qarabag
Olympiacos play host to Qarabag at their Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in the Europa League round 8. The Thrylos proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Porto and they are now on a quest to try and book their spot in top eight. Kristoffer Velde has overcome his minor injury, but the Norway forward is unlikely to start against Qarabag, while midfielder Yusuf Yazici misses out with injury.
Gurban Gurbanov’s men, on the other hand, failed to secure their spot in the knockout stages. As the visitors have little to play for in Thursday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Olympiacos, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Goalkeeper Amin Ramazanov continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team, while defender Abbas Huseynov should be recalled to the starting eleven.
Highlighted Team (Olympiacos):
Olympiakos are regarded as one of the biggest club in Greece. The Thrylos were founded back in 1925 and they play their home games at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. The capacity of the stadium is 33 296. In 2016 Olympiakos won their 43rd Greek Superleague trophy and it has to be noted that they clinched their sixth consecutive domestic title.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1999 as they participated in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Red and whites were beaten by Juventus in the two-legged tie. It is well known that Panathinaikos are considered the club’s bitterest rivals and the two teams share a great and long-standing rivalry.
The likes of AEK and PAOK are regarded as Olympiakos’ fierce opponents as well. The likes of Javier Saviola, Kevin Mirallas, Darko Kovacevic, Lomana LuaLua, Joel Campbell, Rivaldo and Marko Pantelic are notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Olympiakos fans are friends with Red Star Belgrade supporters.
