Aston Villa vs Olympiacos Prediction: the Hosts Want to Get an Advantage At Home

Prediction for the Conference League game between Aston Villa vs Olympiacos, which will take place on May 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Aston Villa is doing well this season, better than anyone could have expected, especially in the EPL and the Europa League. In the English Championship, they're fourth with 67 points. So, there's a good chance they'll play in the UCL next season. Also, it's still possible to win the Conference League, as in the quarterfinals, Aston Villa beat Lille on penalties (2:1 first match, 1:2 return, 4:3 penalties).

On the other hand, Olympiacos has been facing a challenging season. Their performance in the Greek Super League has been lackluster, currently placing them in fourth position with 70 points. However, we give them credit for resilience in the European competitions, notably knocking out Fenerbahce in the quarterfinals of the Conference League (3:2 first leg, 0:1 return, 3:2 penalties).

Analysts see Aston Villa as the favorite in the upcoming match. No matter how one looks at it, the Birmingham team is much more powerful than the visitors. They'll be focused on victory at home in the first battle. Unai Emery's men won't wait around to make the trip to Greece easier. In general, we think the hosts will win and score at least two goals in this match.
