Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Slovan to win or draw – 1.72
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Over 2 goals – 1.57
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Both teams to score yes – 1.87
Slovan to Win or Draw
Slovan won five of their last ten fixtures and that gives them the upper hand to win this game by a 50% probability. A draw on the other hand also has a high possibility with 35% since Olympiacos drew three of their last five matches.
Over 2 Goals
Two or more goals were scored in all of the previous five h2h meetings. In addition, Slovan’s five of their last six and Olympiacos’s last six fixtures produced over two goals, which shows that the possibility to see over two strikes is 90%.
Both Teams to Score Yes
The last two meetings between Slovan and Olympiacos saw goals from both teams. Moreover, Slovan’s 70% and Olympiacos’ 80% of their last ten fixtures produced goals from both teams.
Slovan Bratislava became the only club from Slovakia as well as the former Czechoslovacji to win a European trophy when they beat Barcelona in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1969. However, since then, the Sky Blues’ best achievement in Europe so far is playing in four group stages of each of the current three competitions.
This season, Slovan played in the Champions League qualifications and beat Dinamo Batumi but lost to Ferencvaros in the next round. In the first leg, coach Vladimir Weiss’s men did well to get back from Greece with a draw. Still, there is work to do as Slovan have won just once at home in seven European fixtures.
Olympiacos are Greece’s most successful football club with a total of 79 trophies. In Europe, the Red-Whites reached the Champions League and the Cup winners’ Cup quarter-final once each. Their latest appearance in 2020/21 in the Europa League saw them get eliminated by Arsenal in the round of 16.
Prior to playing in the Europa League, Olympiacos were knocked out of this season’s UCL in the previous round by Maccabi by 1-5 on aggregate. Coach Carlos Corberan’s team put itself in a tough situation as they need to win in Bratislava. On a positive note, the Greek champions managed to come back victorious from Slovakia once before in 2009.
This will be a very tough one to call as both teams are having unstable form. Despite the fact that the bookies are favoring Olympiacos to win, we prefer to go with a double chance of a home win or draw in this match.
