Arsenal vs Olympiakos Piraeus
Arsenal only need a draw to lock the top 16 UEL tickets. The task is easier because they will act as host to host Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium.
Alexandre Lacazette became the hero of the first game victory through his only goal in minute 81 ‘. This score alone reflects the course of the match where the host only releases 2 shots on target versus 3.
The Gunners are more motivated after beating Everton 3-2 on Sunday (2/23) yesterday. This score also helped them rise to EPL rank 9, while maintaining unbeaten trends at the Emirates since the new year to 4 wins and 1 draw in various local competitions.
Meanwhile, Olympiacos also began to knit confidence by winning 0-1 at the PAOK Thessaloniki headquarters. The visit on Monday (24/2) even made sure they did not move from the top of the Greek Super League by a difference of five points, while increasing the unbeaten trend in the away match to 3 1-draw wins without even conceding.
Such a record is certainly a must watch out for any team, Arsenal is no exception. The urge to increase vigilance is increasing because five years ago they were humiliated with a score of 2-3 when they met at the UCL event. It was the inaugural victory for Olympiacos after three previous visits contributed a score of 2-0, 2-1 and 3-1. So, Arsenal still has a good history as a host.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 2.15
