Olympiacos vs Aris Prediction: Olympiacos are in great form

Olympiakos will play their 3rd match in less than a week. Last Thursday day played and lost against Freiburg in Europa League, last weekend they won against Kifisias in the league, and now they will play against Aris. Olympiacos are very strong this season, especially at home, but Aris are not an easy opponent, and this duel is one of the derbies of this round in Greece.

Olympiacos have a very busy schedule, they play matches every three days which can be something that will affect the team form. They started this season very strong, as if they want to show that last season was a mistake and now, they are again getting the league back. After 5 matches, Olympiacos are in 1st place with 4 wins and a draw, 15 goals scored and only one conceded. Aris won on this stadium in 2002, however, last season they played a draw and it was one of the matches that were important in the race for the title.

Aris are in 6th place with 7 points, 2 wins, a draw, and 2 defeats. They are undefeated in the last 3 matches and it was obvious that they improved and started to play very offensive football. They can’t be very proud of their history against Olympiacos, especially as visitors, but as I mentioned last season, they “took” the title away from Olympiacos. Aris are a very dangerous opponent, we saw it in the match against PAOK when they were the ones who attacked more dangerously and had more chances of winning.

Both teams are complete, they don’t have missing injured players, however Olympiacos staff are worried that their players might start to feel a little bit tired. So far in the league Olympiacos are playing amazing, they are main candidates for winning the league, but Aris will try to stop them as they did it last season. Aris also improved recently, but they are a class lower that Olympiacos at the moment and a draw will be more than enough for them. However, I think that Olympiacos will win in front of their fans and that in this match at least 3 goals will be scored.
