Olympiakos Piraeus vs Volos Match Preview

After a defeat to Marseille on the road in the midweek Champions League game, Olympiakos face Volos for the 11th round of the Greek Super League.

Olympiacos are currently 1st-placed in the Super League table, coming from a great win over Aris in the previous round at Kleanthis Vikelidis. After 8 games played in the league so far, Olympiacos remains undefeated, having just 1 draw against PAS Giannina, in a match where they managed to score the winner at the added time, but the goal was disallowed after a controversial decision of the VAR system.

I expect that they will not face many difficulties taking all three points against Volos, actually, the following rounds will be much more challenging for them against PAOK and AEK, the two other title contenders of this season.

On the other hand, Volos continues to perform well and I expect them to try reaching the playoff zone this season. In their midweek game against Apollon Smyrnis on the road, they made a huge comeback after being 3 goals back in the score, equalizing to 3-3 in the dying minutes of the game.

The hosts are coming from an exhausting and controversial match, with two penalties awarded by the VAR for Marseille. On the following Wednesday, Olympiacos will face Porto in a crucial and decisive match for their European destiny. In this one against Volos, I think they will manage to bag comfortably all the points and also keep a clean sheet. So far this season, Olympiakos has only conceded 1 goal playing at home, in the match against the very strong Manchester City.

Under 2,5 goals to be scored is my call for this one, offered at decent 2.65 odds.
