Olympiakos Piraeus vs Plzen Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday evening, the return in the second heat of the Champions League between Olympiacos and Viktoria Plzen is scheduled at Karaiskakis Stadium in the Greek port of Piraeus. Last week’s away match on Czech soil ended in a scoreless draw, so this diptych is still completely open.
Olympiacos:
With winning every league title between 2010 and 2017, there was a period in which Olympiacos was supreme in its own country, but AEK Athens and PAOK managed to stop this in the past two seasons. The Greeks still have a chance to win a ticket for the Champions League, although they will first have to survive three preliminary rounds.
Olympiacos was not allowed to grumble with last week’s 0-0 draw in the first match against Viktoria Plzen. The red and white had to limit themselves to defending, but goalkeeper Jose Sa managed – albeit with the necessary luck – to keep his goal clean. In the return at its own Karaiskakis Stadium, Olympiacos will probably take the initiative again. Thanks in part to her fanatic following, the team is very strong in-house. In the last year and a half, Olympiakos lost only two games to its own audience. However, trainer Pedro Martins will have to do without the injured star player Kostas Fortounis, who is still sidelined for at least six months.
Viktoria Plzen:
Viktoria Plzen was the moral loser of last week’s first game. The Czechs regularly appeared dangerously for the Olympiacos goal, but were careless in the completion. Nevertheless, the team of coach Pavel Vrba is still in good shape, because even a draw with goals is enough on Tuesday evening for a place in the next round.
However, the Czechs will have to come from a good family to survive in the Greek witch cauldron. In any case, they have more game rhythm than Olympiacos, because the Czech league is already three rounds of play. Viktoria Plzen has won all her league matches so far and is therefore again a serious candidate for the Czech league title this season. Reaching the group stage of the Champions League is of course a priority, although Vrba last weekend largely held on to the usual names in the 3-2 win over Karvina. Whether that was a wise decision will be seen on Tuesday evening.
