Olympiacos Piraeus vs Asteras Tripolis Match Preview

Olympiacos have registered his 2nd defeat this season, this time against PAOK by 2-0 on the road. The hosts did a good start in the game and put some difficulty on PAOK's defenders. However, after 20 minutes played, the hosts started making progress by keeping possession and balance. Although, we have to note that some key players were missings back on Olympiacos' defense, like Ba and Semedo due to injuries.

Asteras Tripolis, on the other hand, comes from an impressive performance against AEK in the previous round on the road. Rastavac and his team are very strong this season, especially in front of the attack. In the game against AEK, their strikers performed well, but I think that they lost this one due to multiple yellow cards and at some point, they just dropped their pace and lost their balance in the game. Since the last round, it has been confirmed that Asteras Tripolis will finish 6th, and this reflects on their performances, as they play without any stress on their shoulders.

Both sides play without any motivation in the playoffs. Olympiacos are about to be crowned champions, while Asteras Tripolis are going to finish 6th in the standings, which means they will not participate on any European competition next season. I think we will see a fast-paced game with many goal-scoring chances, so I'll pick Over 2.5 goals to be scored for this one.
