Giannina vs Olympiacos Piraeus Match Preview

Giannina hosts Olympiacos Piraeus at National Stadium of Ioannina for the Greek Super League

Giannina is going to host Olympiacos in a match that will mark the start of the second part of the season in the Greek Super League after the FIFA World Cup. Giannina will look to improve as they are currently in 12th position having only 9 points. They have 2 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses in 13 league games. They played a friendly game and won against Panetolikos and that can be a good sign for them.

Olympiacos, on the other side, is in good form but they are in 4th position in the league with a big deficit from league leaders Panathinaikos. They have 25 points, with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses. They started the season in a poor way but managed to improve and they will try to get to the top. They also played in the UEFA Europa League which was a distraction for them so I expect to fully focus on the domestic league from now on.

Giannina has big problems with allowing goals. They allowed 28 goals which is by far the worst record in the league. On the other side, Olympiakos has a strong defense and that is going to be a problem for Giannina. I don't believe they can score more than Olympiakos in this match having in mind their bad defense which will be tested hard against players like Marcelo, James Rodriguez, Bakambu, El Arabi.
