Atromitos vs Olympiakos Prediction: It’s getting hotter in Greece

What a Sunday in Greece. Derbies everywhere. Perhaps the easiest challenge will have Olympiakos who will face the city rival Atromitos. It’s city derby, but it’s not as tense as the one against AEK or Panathinaikos. This match is a start of a series of very difficult matches for Olympiakos and I’m sure that a positive result will mean a lot to Mendilibar’s players. On the other hand, Atromitos finally ended the bad run, with a great win in the previous round, and this match will be a true test for them to see if they can keep up with the best and hope to reach top eight.

In the last round Atromitos won against Lamia 3:0 as visitors, and it was their first win after bad run of seven matches without a win in all competitions. Garcia’s team play very bad against top four teams this season, and I think that if they remain undefeated in this match against Olympiakos it can be a turning point for this team. Their main objective is finishing in the top eight in the regular part of the season, which is something reachable. Atromitos are in nineth place with 22 points, one less than eight placed team Panetolikos. They have six wins, four draws and eight defeats. At home they have only a win in their last five matches, and their record in this stadium is two wins, two draws and five defeats. Denzel Jubitana is still doubtful for this match, while Abartzidis and MIchori will miss it due to an injury.

Porto (Europa League), Panathinaikos (Super League), and Qarabaq (Europa League) are next Olympiakos’ opponents until the end of January. This is maybe a period in which the rest of the season will be decided and objectives changed. Of course, as I said before their main goal is winning the league, but their European appetites are big since they won the Conference League last season. Currently they are in first place with 40 points, 12 wins, four draws and two defeats. Olympiakos are undefeated in the last 15 matches in all competitions, their last defeat was in the league in October against Asteras T., and that is why I expect another great win for the best team in Greece.

Expert Betting Tips

In this match I expect Olympiakos to win confidently, since they have 39 wins in the last 54 matches against Atromitos, while Atromitos have only five wins. Also, Atromitos have only one win in the last seven matches in this stadium. Atromitos also didn’t score a goal in the last three matches against Olympiakos which is why I think that Olympiakos will keep clean sheet in this match. I expect Olympiakos to take control of the match early and keep it that way, they have to safe energy for their encounter against Porto in the Europa League.
