AC Milan vs Olympiakos Piraeus Prediction & Betting tips
The second Europa League Group F match will take place in Milan on Thursday. The hosts took on an important win in the first game – but the Italians disappointed in their 0: 1 victory against the Luxembourg champions. Olympiacos Piraeus, on the other hand, only drew a draw in the opening match against Betis Sevilla. The Greeks had only 31 percent possession at home.
Among the Italians, the performance trend is pointing upwards – since the opening game in Serie A, the Milanese have not plugged in defeat. For their part, Olympiakos failed to make the final rehearsal at the weekend against PAOK. Since we are too low on this odds, we are hampering our bets and recommend in the duel between AC Milan and Olympiacos Piraeus the tip on a win in the first half of Milan. Potential bets are recommended to play with two units. The match at San Siro will be kicked off at 18:55 by referee Bobby Madden.
AC Milan:
The current table ranking does not live up to the claims of the traditional club from Milan. However, it must be noted that the Milan will contest a catch-up game against Genoa CFC. Should they win this, they would win some places in the table. The main problem of the team of Gattuso is the draw rate. So far, the Rossoneri played in about half of the game a draw. They were in the lead against Empoli and Atalanta Bergamo at the break. Analyzing the first stages of the AC Milan game, it is clear that the Rossoneri were in the lead in 83 per cent of Serie A games halfway through the season. However, in just 40 percent of the cases, they could hold the lead until the end of the game.
After all, the Milan have so far conceded only one defeat this season, this occurred on the first matchday. After the northern Italians were 0: 2 in the lead, they still conceded three goals and were subject to the SSC Naples. Since then they have been unbeaten seven games in a row
The first appearance in the group stage of the Europa League was anything but convincing. Although the Italians scored three important points against the F91 Dudelange, they did not shine at any time. Only Gonzalo Higuain could celebrate a goal. The Argentinian has always been successful in his last three games played. Recently, the striker was missing injured and he will probably be missing on Thursday against Olympiacos Piraeus. Also Caldara will probably not be in the squad.
Olympiacos Piraeus:
The main rehearsal for the important game in the Europa League Olympiakos Piraeus has not succeeded. On Sunday, the series champion from Greece dueled with the current runner-up PAOK. For Olympiakos this was the first defeat of the current season. Before that, they were unbeaten in ten competitive matches. In the domestic championship, they duel with the teams PAOK, AEK Athens and this year also with Atromitos for the championship title. Therefore, it is not surprising that they only had to concede two goals after five games and were on average almost twice per game successful.
For the duel against AC Milan but the previous games on the European stage must be analyzed.
Due to the third place in the standings last season Olympiakos had to take the road to qualifying for the Europa League. They met at the FC Lucerne and Burnley. In the duel with the Swiss, the class difference in the first leg was clear. With a total score of 7: 1, the Greeks prevailed without effort. Although Burnley countered more, Olympiakos deservedly entered the group stage. In the first group match against Betis Sevilla Olympiakos Piraeus was completely overwhelmed at times. The statistics also give this impression – the home team had only 31 percent ball possession in a duel with the Spanish representative in the group F! Olympiakos scored for the first time since seven Europa League games no results!
In the past, Olympiakos did not really shine against Italian teams. Half of all games against an Italian team lost the Greeks and on Thursday we expect a defeat.
