LiontipsOlympiacos vs. Karabakh. Europa League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Olympiacos approached the start of the Europa League as one of the clear contenders for a place in the top eight - the status of the Conference League winner and experience in the international arena allowed the red-whites to count on a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals. However, Jose Luis Mendilibar team failed to consistently perform in the league stage and currently occupies 12th place in the table with 12 points, two points behind eighth-placed FCSB - today the hosts only need a victory and mistakes from their competitors in order to break into the top eight.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Olympiacos have not lost in their last 18 matches – 11 wins and seven draws
- Olympiacos have scored in their last eight matches
Estimated line-up: Tsolakis - Rodinei, Retsos, Carmo, Ortega - Garcia, Mouzakitis - Masouras, Kostoulas, Shikinho - El Kaabi.
Current form
Karabakh was not considered a clear contender for a playoff spot, but their experience on the international stage allowed the team to count on a place in the top 24 with luck. However, Gurban Gurbanov team is frankly failing the league stage and has only played one strong match in seven rounds, sensationally beating Bodo/Glimt away with a score of 2:1 in the fourth round. With these three points, Karabakh is in 34th place in the table before the last round and already has no chance of making it to the playoffs - 24th Besiktas has six points more.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ramazanov is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Karabakh suffered six defeats in seven rounds of the Europa League
- Karabakh have conceded in all seven Europa League matches
Estimated lineup: Buntic - Mateus, Mustafazade, Medina, Jafarguliyev - Romao, Jankovic - Kashchuk, Andrade, Zubir - Akhundzade.

3.35Tip and bets
Olympiacos has a real chance to fight for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals, but to do this it is necessary to take all three points today. The task for the red-whites is generally quite feasible - the hosts are in excellent shape, not losing in 18 matches in a row in all tournaments, playing on their home field, have a significant advantage in class over the opponent. In addition, Karabakh no longer has tournament motivation and in such a situation it makes sense to give preference to the favorite and count on its confident victory.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Olympiakos . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on total
Olympiakos will certainly be in the most determined mood today and will play to win, paying maximum attention to the attack. The red-whites score regularly, especially on their home field, Karabakh is very vulnerable in defense and it will be almost impossible to play to zero. At the same time, the horses have nothing to lose, the guests can afford to play openly and adventurously, Karabakh is quite capable of responding with a goal of prestige and its goal will not be a big sensation.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Olympiacos are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Olympiacos. This bet is offered for 1.95
