Olympiakos Piraeus vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening, the playoffs of the UEFA Europa League will take place. The winners of the games, which are played in a return match, qualify for the group stage of the Europa League. In this article we take a look at the duel between Olympiakos Piraeus and the Burnley FC. While the English have already played two league games, the league starts for the Greeks until next weekend. But as the last round of the Europa League shows, the form seems to be correct. The FC Lucerne was clearly put in the barriers. The odds point Piraeus as a clear favorite. In the match between Olympiacos Piraeus and Burnley is the bet on the hosts at decent betting odds a promising selection? The kick-off at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium is at 19 o’clock.
Olympiacos Piraeus:
Olympiacos Piraeus have had a turbulent year. After being crowned Greek champions seven times in a row in the years 2011-2017, last season was only enough for third place. The championship went to AEK Athens and also PAOK Salonika landed before the red-white. About the appearance of his players club owner Evangelos Marinakis was so angry that he whipped the team a hefty fine and sent the players prematurely on summer vacation. Many new players have been hired and a new coach is now in charge. The Portuguese Pedro Martins should lead Piraeus again to new successes. This certainly includes reaching the group stage in the Europa League. The kick-off in the last round has been very successful.
The Swiss from Lucerne were shot in the sum 7: 1 from the competition. Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and Miguel Guerrero scored the goals in the two games. The Spaniard, who was signed by CD Leganes, scored three times and the newcomer to AEK Athens four times. This puts the Greeks, who scored the most goals in the Greek league with 63 goals last season, a powerful offensive. It is steered by playmaker Konstantinos Fortounis. With Iranian Karim Ansarifard, who scored 17 goals in the last season, they still have a strong striker in the hindquarters. No role under Coach Martins seems to play the German Marko Marin.
Burnley:
Somewhat surprisingly, the English champions of 1960 prevailed in the final round against the Turks of Istanbul Basaksehir. After scoring a goalless 0-0 draw in Istanbul, they had not scored any goals in 90 minutes at home in Turf Moor and continued extra time. Here, Jack Cork made through his goal in the 97th minute for the decision. The Clarets now have a great opportunity to qualify for the group stage of the Europa League. However, they have with the Greeks from Piraeus a big chunk in front of the chest, which must clear the team of Sean Dyche out of the way. The start of the season in the Premier League certainly did not go as hoped.
On the first matchday, it was enough for a point at 0-0 in Southampton. The home game last Sunday was then lost to Watford with 1: 3. Gray’s early backlog could be countered by Tarkowski almost immediately, but two hits shortly after halftime ended the match for the Hornets. Keeper Joe Hart conceded his first goal in the match of Burnley in this game. The question will be whether the English can oppose the offensive power of the Greeks to achieve a good result and thus a good condition for the return leg.
