Our tips
This match has ended or all pre-match betting is closed.
The main betting market presents intriguing possibilities, with Olympiakos priced at 2.62 for a home victory and PSV at 2.79 for an away win. However, the draw option offers superior value given the tight nature of recent encounters between these sides and their contrasting Champions League form versus domestic performances.
Our second betting prediction focuses on both teams to score, priced at 1.55 with Paripesa. This selection appears highly probable considering PSV’s attacking prowess demonstrated in their 6-2 victory over Napoli, combined with Olympiakos’ defensive vulnerabilities that saw them concede eight goals in three Champions League matches. The Greek side’s ability to find the net, evidenced by their recent domestic form, suggests they can breach PSV’s defence on home soil.
Olympiakos Piraeus Form Analysis
Olympiakos enter this fixture with contrasting fortunes between domestic and European competitions. Their recent Champions League campaign has proven challenging, with the Greek champions managing just one point from three matches, including a devastating 6-1 defeat away to Barcelona in their most recent European outing. This result highlighted their defensive frailties at the highest level, contributing to a concerning goal difference of 1:8 in the competition.
However, their domestic form tells a markedly different story. The Piraeus-based club have demonstrated impressive consistency in Greek football, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions, with their only defeat coming in that Barcelona encounter. Their most recent fixture saw them secure a 2-1 home victory against Aris Saloniki, showcasing their ability to perform in familiar surroundings.
Under the guidance of manager Mendilíbar, Olympiakos have maintained their attacking philosophy while struggling to adapt defensively to Champions League intensity. The Spanish tactician, known for his pragmatic approach and ability to organize underdogs, faces his biggest test in European competition. His experience with Sevilla’s Europa League triumph demonstrates his capability in continental tournaments, though the Champions League presents a different calibre of opposition.
At home in European competition this season, Olympiakos have shown greater resilience, managing one draw without suffering defeat at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. This fortress mentality could prove crucial against PSV, particularly given their supporters’ passionate backing in European nights. Their extended Champions League form across seasons reveals persistent struggles, with four defeats and just one draw in their last five European encounters, emphasizing the magnitude of this fixture for their continental ambitions.
PSV Eindhoven European Campaign Assessment
PSV Eindhoven arrive in Greece with renewed confidence following their spectacular 6-2 home victory over Napoli, a result that perfectly encapsulated their attacking potential and tactical flexibility under Peter Bosz. This triumph represents a significant statement of intent in the Champions League, demonstrating their ability to compete with established European powerhouses while showcasing the clinical finishing that has become their trademark.
The Dutch champions have collected four points from three Champions League matches, positioning themselves reasonably well in the league phase standings at 16th place. Their European record shows one victory, one draw, and one defeat, with an impressive goal difference of 8:6 that reflects both their attacking prowess and occasional defensive vulnerability. Away from home in European competition, they have managed one draw, suggesting adaptability to different environments and playing conditions.
Bosz’s tactical acumen has been instrumental in PSV’s European resurgence. The experienced Dutch manager, renowned for his attacking philosophy and high-pressing system, has successfully implemented a style that maximizes his squad’s technical abilities while maintaining defensive solidity. His previous European experience, including spells with Ajax and Borussia Dortmund, provides valuable insight into continental competition dynamics.
Their perfect domestic form heading into this encounter, with five consecutive victories including a commanding 5-2 triumph over Fortuna Sittard, demonstrates exceptional momentum and confidence. This run includes their impressive Champions League victory over Napoli, suggesting seamless transition between domestic and European commitments. The attacking trio’s chemistry has been particularly noteworthy, with goals flowing freely in recent fixtures while maintaining tactical discipline in defensive phases.
Head-to-Head Statistics
The recent history between these European competitors reveals a closely contested rivalry with minimal separation in quality. Their last direct meeting resulted in a 2-1 home victory for PSV Eindhoven, demonstrating the Dutch side’s slight edge in recent encounters while highlighting the competitive nature of this fixture.
Examining their last three meetings across all competitions, PSV hold a marginal advantage with two victories compared to Olympiakos’ single triumph, with no draws recorded between the sides. This statistical overview suggests evenly matched teams capable of producing entertaining, goal-laden encounters with narrow margins determining outcomes.
