OFI Crete vs Olympiacos Prediction: Can Olympiacos continue their good form?

OFI Crete are having a really good season so far, but they are about to face the best team in Greece at the moment, Olympiacos. The visitors are dominating in the domestic league and the only defeat they got is actually punishment for their fans’ behavior in the match against Panathinaikos. The match was interrupted and 3 points were awarded to Panathinaikos. However, that didn’t affect Olypiacos very much as they won in the Europa League against West Ham 2:1. In this match they are the favorite, but it’s not going to be an easy match against solid OFI Crete.

Form: DWWDD

OFI Crete are in 7th place, with 13 points, 3 wins, 4 draws, and a defeat. In the last 8 matches in all competitions, this team is undefeated with 3 wins and 5 draws. At home, they have 3 wins and a draw in league matches which only shows us how good a team this really is. However, in h2h matches against Olympiacos, they have really bad scores and that is something that is putting pressure when facing this opponent. They already won against AEK in this stadium and played a draw in the last round as visitors against Kifisias, and in this match, they will play carefully and defensively and their goal is getting at least a point.

Form: WLDWW

The scandal in the last round in the match against Panathinaikos can throw a shadow on a perfect start of this season for Olympiacos. They are in 2nd position with 18 points, 6 wins, a draw, and a defeat. However, the win against West Ham in the Europa League showed that this team has character and can carry on to play great football, as they have been doing since the start of the season. This is an unpleasant away match for them, and they have a very busy schedule, but I think that they have enough quality and players to win here.

It’s sure that OFI Crete will be hard challenge for Olympiacos, and we can expect tight match. After the very demanding match in the Europa League Olympiacos’ manager announced that there will be some changes in the squad for this match, but I believe that Olympiacos have the capacity to overcome an opponent as OFI Crete and to reduce the gap between them and Panathinaikos. Olympiacos are playing really aggressively this season and I think that they will win and score at least 2 goals in this match.
