PSV vs Olympiakos Piraeus Match Preview

PSV faces Olympiakos Piraeus in this second leg of the last 32 stage in the UEFA Europa League.

Olympiakos prevailed in the first leg by 4-2 a week ago taking a significant lead for today's matchup. In the first half, we saw some great football from both sides, scoring a total of 5 goals (3-2). PSV were better in the second half, but in the last 20 minutes, Olympiakos managed to secure their victory, scoring their fourth goal at the 83rd minute.

The visitors are having a great campaign both in the European competitions and in the domestic league, leading in the table of the Greek Super League with a total of 58 points after 23 rounds played. In the previous round, they shared points with Aris (1-1), playing under heavy rotation.

PSV may have scored two away goals in the first leg, but still, the Greek side has a huge lead as they won by a two-goal margin The fourth and last goal in the first leg created a significant deficit for PSV, as they have to win minimum by a two-goal difference tonight in order to qualify for the next round of the competition.

In the previous round of the domestic league, PSV prevailed easily by 3-1 over Vitesse at home, scoring 3 goals in the last 30 minutes of the game. After this outcome, PSV reached a total of 50 points, sitting 2nd in the table, having 6 points less than the league leaders, Ajax.

Olympiakos is two goals ahead on aggregate score, so I expect PSV to play very offensively since the beginning of the game, hoping to score some early goals. This could bring a fast-paced game with many goal-scoring chances from both sides, as they usually fancy, actually, they rarely keep a clean sheet. Over 2,5 goals to be scored is my final call for this one, offered at decent 1.67 odds.
