Arsenal vs Olympiacos Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Steve Ashfield |
Arsenal host Olympiakos in the second leg of their Round of 32 Europa League tie this Thursday. The Gunners have a one-goal advantage thanks to their 1-0 win in Greece last week. Alexandre Lacazette got the only goal of the game, keeping up his scoring run after breaking his nine-game goal duck against Newcastle the previous weekend. The provider of his goal was Bukayo Saka, an 18-year-old left-sided player equally at home in defense or attack. His attacking abilities have been the highlights of recent matches for Arsenal as he has provided four assists and scored one goal in his last five games. In what has been a trying season for the Gunners, the emergence of a number of talented youngsters is undoubtedly positive.
However, there are still weaknesses that Olympiakos can exploit. Everton opened the scoring in that Sunday match in the opening minute after clumsy defending. Their second goal was another strike that probably could have been avoided. It wouldn't surprise us to see Olympiakos get on the scoresheet at the Emirates. They took a surprise two-goal lead during their last match in London, eventually losing 4-2 to Tottenham. They also won on their last trip to the Emirates, a 3-2 win back in 2015. What we're saying is that Olympiakos have pedigree. With a deficit to overturn, they have no other option but to eventually throw caution to the wind. It's an inevitable strategy that we don't see paying dividends but they could be among the scorers in a match that we can see featuring plenty of goals.

Our Arsenal vs Olympiacos Prediction
Far from the finished article, Arsenal are showing signs of a bright future under Mikel Arteta. A few defensive reinforcements in the summer could be the making of a great Gunners side. Until then, they look vulnerable at the back. Their attack is good enough to win most games and we think that this home tie against Olympiakos is one such game. Back Arsenal and over 2.5 goals.
