9.30Tip and bets
Bookmakers give the advantage to Olympiakos in the upcoming match, which is worth agreeing with. Malmo is not known for its stability in European competitions, and has already managed to lose to Rangers at home without a chance. Plus, the hosts have significant problems with their lineup. We believe that the visitors have a better chance of winning.
Our prediction is Olympiacos win with Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.68
Bet on total
Malmö defence has not been particularly reliable in recent international matches. They conceded two goals against Rangers and failed to keep a clean sheet against Qarabag. We believe that Olympiacos, which features El-Kaabi in attack, will be able to score at least two goals today.
The second bet is Olympiacos individual total goals over 1.5 with odds of 2.16
Bet on the first half
In three of the last four matches, Olympiacos confidently played the opening segments and won in the first half. We expect in the forecast that today the Greeks will immediately show their advantage.
Prediction: Olympiacos wins in the first half with odds of 2.90
