Olympiakos Piraeus vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
The Greek table starts as a favorite due to its greater hierarchy between lines and especially because it has better players than its rival. However, if we consider that both teams are immersed in the preseason, we believe that the balance can be matched. Of course, despite this, we played for the victory of the Hellenic due to the field factor and especially because they need to improve their preseason results. He paints to be a fought and tactical duel in the midfield, but with situations for the Greeks for the imbalances that Leganés is still committing at the moment of scoring.
Olympiacos:
After holding a fairly discreet campaign in the previous Greek league, Olympiakos wants to recover what it almost always won in recent decades. The local league In the last season he was surprisingly placed in the third position and did not qualify for the next Champions League (57 points product of 18 wins, 6 draws and 6 falls). It was 13 of the champion AEK and 7 of the runner-up PAOK. In terms of goals, he scored 63 and gave 28 on his fence, proving to be explosive in attack and relatively solid in defense. However, he lost key points against direct rivals and therefore the Europa League will play in a few more weeks. Now the goal of the coach Pedro Martins is to recover the winning identity of the institution, trying to appeal to the good game above all.
In terms of friendly, Olympiakos has played a lot in this preseason, achieving the following markers so far: Win 3-0 against Waltens, victory 0-5 against Botosani, win 0-3 against Thes Sports, defeat 3-2 with Eupen, 1-1 draw with St. Truiden, 4-0 loss to Genk, 4-0 defeat by PSV and 0-1 victory against Goztepe (total irregularity in terms of results, after alternating victories, draws and defeats continuous way). If we talk about reinforcements, the arrival of the Portuguese midfielder Daniel Podence stands out. The ideal is that the players who stayed can improve their level and adapt to the football idea of the new coach. There are not many figures of weight in the establishment, standing out the contribution of the German Marin, the Serbian Durdevic and the Colombian Felipe Pardo.
Leganés:
The objective of the “pepineros” in this pre-season is to adapt to the proposal of Professor Mauricio Pellegrino, who arrives to replace Asier Garitano. The logic indicates that the school keeps moving forward and backwards in a block, trying not to lose the balance between the lines. Of course, it should not surprise us that the hand of the Argentine coach is noticed with the running of the matches. If we talk about his style, this is held under the precepts of the brand over good football. The order prevails over everything and this essence has been noticed in the first pre-season friendly. This will be the first test of fire for the players, since the game will be played in the always complicated Greece (Georgios Karaiskakis stadium of Piraeus). Therefore, it is expected that they can perform to the maximum, beyond the physical fatigue they may have from the accumulated work.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Leganés already played 3 friendlies of preparation, which are helping him to catch soccer rhythm and to strengthen the teachings of Pellegrino in practice. He comes from equalizing 1-1 against Alcorcón and drawing 1-1 against Alavés. The first duel was played against a lesser rival, while the second faced him against an opponent who plays in the first division. His last friendly match was last Saturday against newly promoted Rayo Majadahonda (3-0 win after winning 1-0 in the first half). In terms of signings, the leadership has not done too many so far. However, he has signed the young forward José Arnáiz, which was also intended by Getafe and Real Sociedad (former Barcelona).
There are no previous clashes between Greeks and Spaniards, this being the first duel they will hold in their history.
