Lamia vs Olympiacos Prediction: Olympiacos are under pressure to win

Finally, the Greece Super League is back after the short break and this Wednesday we will see an interesting match between Lamia and Olympiacos. Matches from this round of the Greece Super League will once again be played without spectators. Teams with different ambitions and goals, but the win in this match is important for both of them. Lamia never won against Olympiacos at this stadium, and it is a reason plus for them to perform as best as they can. Olympiacos on the other hand starter to lose points in away matches in which they were favorite and now they are in 3rd position and the pressure on the manager and players is bigger.

Lamia are winless in their last 7 matches in league and National Cup. They are in 7th place with 17 points, 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. At home they have 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, but they are winless in their last 3 matches at home. In the last match before the break, they played one of the best matches of the season so far for them and played a draw 2:2 against Aris in an away match. They don’t have good experience when facing Olympiacos, but if they can perform again as in that match, they will certainly cause trouble to Olympiacos.

Olympiacos’ started to show signs of tiredness right before the break. In the last match they played a draw against Atromitos, in an away match which they should have won. They were dominant, they created many chances, had the ball over 70% in their possession, but failed to score. This break came at the right time for them and now with clear heads and more pressure they will start the second part of the season from 3rd position with 32 points, 3 less than PAOK. 

Olympiacos’ players knows that they must win this match if they want to reduce the pressure from the public and the fans in Greece. Their manager Carvalhal talked about it recently that from now on the pressure will be higher and the stakes bigger, and there is no room for mistakes. Lamia are usually an easy opponent for Olympiacos, and I expect that Olympiacos will win this match and score more than 2.5 goals.
