Olympiakos vs Lamia Prediction: Busy week ahead of Olympiakos

In the 34th round of the Greece Super League Olympiakos will welcome Lamia in Piraeus. In the last round Olympiakos failed to win against Aris and reduced the chances of winning the title while Lamia won their first point in the Championship group against PAOK at home. Olympiakos will play an important match in the semi-final of the Conference League against Aston Villa, so maybe they are thinking more about that match than this. 

Form: DWDWW

After the draw in Thessaloniki against Aris, Olympiakos are now in 4th place with 67 points, 8 points less than the leader AEK. They were dominant in that match, they created many chances but failed to score. In this match against Lamia, they shouldn’t have trouble winning, but they might not press too hard, as they have a trip to England to face Aston Villa in the first match of the Europa Conference League.

In the previous round Lamia managed to win a point at home against PAOK. They scored a goal in the first half and defended well almost the whole second time, but they conceded a goal in the stoppage time. It was the first point for Lamia since the beginning of the Championship group, The scorer of the goal Slivka, and Amaral got red cards in that match and will miss this one. They already won against Olympiakos once this season, and it gives them hope for a positive result in this encounter.

Olympiakos are the favorite in this match even though their manager will most likely rest some of the key players before the trip to Birmingham. Even so, Lamia didn’t show anything special in this playoffs and they don’t have good memories in this stadium against Olympiakos. I expect Olympiakos to win the match and I expect this to be a high scoring match.
