Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Atalanta Win to Nil No – 1.50
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Olympiacos +1 Goals Handicap – 2.12
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: 2-3 Total Goals – 2.02
Atalanta Win to Nil No
The bookies are favoring a home win with odds of 1.45. In order to raise the odds we choose the bet, Atalanta, not to win to nil since their defense was shaky lately. To point out, La Dea had two clean sheets in their last seven home games.
Olympiacos +1 Goals Handicap
Olympiacos are a very good team domestically as they haven’t lost a match in the Greek league. Moreover, we think if the Greeks will lose they won’t lose by more than a one-goal margin.
2-3 Total Goals
The last three Olympiacos games saw two or three goals. In the same way, Atalanta’s two of their last five games saw two and three goals. We think this is the number of goals that is most possible that we will see in this game.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Atalanta vs Olympiacos
Atalanta’s recent form is not very impressive s they are winless in their last four games. Moreover, La Dea finished third in the Champions League group F after winning one drawing three and losing two games.
Five of their six group stage matches saw three goals or more making the average goals scored in their games just over three. However, Atalanta’s goal difference is -1 (12 GF- 13 GA) which shows that Gasperini’s side’s defense is not at its best when playing in Europe.
Olympiacos is Greece’s most successful club winning 78 national titles and are the Greek champions for the last two seasons. In Europe, the Red and Whites’ best result was reaching the Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-final in 1992/93 and the Champions League in 1998/97.
In the group stages of the Europa League this term, Olympiacos finished second in Group D after winning three and losing three. Notably, the Red and Whites are having an amazing domestic season going unbeaten in 22 league games since the start of the season.
Atalanta vs Olympiacos Prediction
Despite the fact that Atalanta’s games saw a high number of goals in the first phase, it is unlikely to be the case in the knockout stages. We predict a low-scoring game of two or three strikes at the end of the final whistle.
Safe Bet
In addition to our first prediction that has odds of 1.50, we think the combo bet of Atalanta win or draw and under 3.5 goals has a big chance of realizing. Moreover, with odds of 1.66, we think this is another contender for a safe bet.
Quick Rich
The 2-1 correct score with odds of 8.00 looks to be a good bet for this game. La Dea will be on the offensive from the start and are capable of scoring twice. While Olympiacos with their home form may be able to find that all-important away goal.
Atalanta vs Olympiacos First Goalscorer
Mario Pasalic scored ten times for Atalanta this season in all competitions. The Croatian opened the scoring twice in La Dea’s matches and we predict him to be the first goalscorer again on Thursday.
