Prediction: 1-2
Arsenal
On Tuesday evening 19:45 the absolute thriller between Arsenal and Olympiakos will take place in the Karaiskakis Stadium, both teams will be extremely motivated for this game which will be crucial in order the qualify for the knock out stage of the Champions League. Olympiakos is currently placed second in group F having 3 points more than number 3 Arsenal. The first game between both teams end in a 2-3 victory for Olympiakos which means Arsenal will have to beat Olympiakos with 2 points difference in order to reach to the knock out stage. We predict Arsenal to beat Olympiakos with 1-2; without the injured Alexis Sanchez Arsenal is missing a lot of offensive strength. Arsenal will play under high amounts of pressure which the young team will have too much trouble with. Arsene Wenger would do good signing new players in order to play a role in Europe.
Highligted Player (Ozil):
Mesut Ozil gained international recognition at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The attacking midfielder impressed with Germany at the showpiece tournament and, as a result, Real Madrid chiefs decided to sign him. Ozil won the 2011/2012 La Liga trophy with los Blancos and, against all odds, the club bosses decided to sell him to Arsenal at the end of the 2012/2013 campaign. The Turkish-born player scored 19 goals for Real Madrid in 105 appearances for the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit. On the other hand, Mesut Ozil has yet to win the Premier League with Arsenal, but he helped North London club lift two FA Cup titles (2013/2014, 2014/2015). In 2014 Ozil lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy with Germany and, no doubt, that is regarded as the biggest success of his career. The German international used to play for Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 in the past as well.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title. Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since. Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
