PAS Giannina vs Olympiakos Match Preview

PAS Giannina comes from a 2-1 defeat to OFI on the road in the previous round of the Greek Super League. They've been the best team afte the top-six sides of the league, Their manager, Giannikis, has selected a successful 4-4-2 formation that troubled the most Greek Super League defensive lines this season. They are far away from the relegation zone and considering their clear distance, they'll be safe even if they lose all the remaining league games. Siontis is the only missing for today's match while Krizman remains doubtful.

Olympiacos played like true champions in the previous round, prevailing with an impressive 1-5 over AEK on the road, in a game that they could have scored even more goals. Manager Martins is currently at Olympiacos' bench for more than 3 years and the roster he created seems unstoppable. For example, in the difficult away game against Arsenal, his 5-4-1 formation worked well for the team and his selections reflect in a very attractive manner on the pitch driving his team in some outrageous performances, In the Greek Cup, the Portuguese manager usually selects to rotate his squad and will probably see this once again here.

PAS Giannina has a very difficult task in front of them but I think they will give their best fight in this clash. I am not so sure that Olympiacos will prevail so easily in this first leg, as they did three days ago in the match against AEK. BTTS: Yes is my call for this one, offered at decent 2.45 odds.
