They have the momentum

Olympiakos target to return in the top, since last season they were outplayed by amazing PAOK. They started their European tasks quite early, last Wednesday they welcomed Krasnodar for the Champions League play-offs. Their great performance led to a 4-0 win over the Russian team and they actually secured their participation in the Champions League group stage. They had already eliminated Plzen and Basaksehir in the previous rounds, this was their 5th game for the competition and they remained undefeated without conceding any goal.

It's a new era for Asteras Tripolis who made a lot of changes from last year when they secured their place in the Greek Super League in the last round. They have a completely different quad and a new coach on their bench, the 38yo Spaniard Borja Jimenez. They try to secure the earliest possible their place in the Super League and then anything else is more than welcomed. In their preparation games, they showed they need time to work as a team, definitely, Borja Jimenez has a difficult task in his new position.

Olympiakos seem to be unstoppable after their recent successful results in their Europian games, definitely a positive result to start their journey in the Greek Super League is required tonight. Even if they make a rotation they are still the undeniable favorites. On the other hand, Asteras are a big question mark and they start their journey with the harder opponent they could, but tonight they have nothing to lose. I expect goals from the home team, over 2.5 goals is my call.
