Olympiakos vs Athens Kallithea Prediction: Easy 3 points for Olympiakos

The last match of the 2nd round of the Greece Super League is a small city “derby” between the mighty Olympiakos and a team that returns to this league after 18 years Athens Kallithea. These teams played their last official match in 2006, and since then Athens Kallithea are struggling in the lower levels of Greek football, while Olympiakos are the most successful team from Greece.

Olympiakos opened the season with a confident away win against Volos. Compared to last season and the team that won the UEFA Conference League and finished in third place in the league, Olympiakos seems more stable and stronger this season. They brought in some new quality players, kept the important ones from last season, and only sold the players who played very little last season. The main goal this season is winning the league, and they don’t keep it secret in Olympiakos.

Athens Kallithea were very dominant in the second division last season, and after 18 years they are back in the best Greek football league. In the first round, they played a draw against Levadiakos away, and they showed that they have the capacity to avoid relegation this season. However, Olympiakos are almost impossible challenge for them at the moment, and they can’t count on winning any points here.

The only unknown in this match is how many goals will Olympiakos score, and how hard they will push. It’s not fair or sportsmanlike to say that Athens Kallithea don’t have any chances here to make a miracle, but I simply can’t see a way in which they can play against Olympiakos at this level. I expect Olympiakos to score at least 3 goals, and Athens Kallithea should prepare themselves for a heavy defeat.
