Arsenal vs Olympiacos Match Preview

Arsenal faces Olympiacos for the second leg of the last 16 in the EUFA Europa League at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal is leading 3-1 on aggregate score.

The hosts deservedly reached victory in the first leg, as they dominated in the pitch and scored three goals. The Gunners are the favorites to win here, coming also from a 2-1 win against Spurs in the previous round of the English Premier League. However, they are still sitting low in the standings, placed at the 10th spot with a total of 41 points.

The 3-1 was a heavy defeat for Olympiacos in the first leg, and they have to make a huge overcome to get the qualification ticket here. Although, the visitors are still the best team in the Greek Super League, finishing at the 1st spot in the regular season, and they will be crowned champions when the playoffs ended.

The Gunners are having a big lead and this brings them one step closer to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Olympiacos, on the other hand, have nothing left to lose here other than to give one last shot. I expect a fast-paced game with many goal-scoring chances from both sides. Over 2.5 goals to be scored is my call, offered at 1.65 odds.
