Asteras Tripolis Prediction
Asteras Tripolis head into this clash on the back of two league defeats on the trot in the Greek Super League with losses to PAOK 3-0 (at home) and another 3-0 defeat away at AEK Athens, so confidence may not be overly high as they prepare for the visit of high-flying Olympiakos to their Stadio Theodoros Kolokotronis on Sunday evening.
Asteras Tripolis had previously put together an impressive four-match winning streak with wins gained over Larissa, Levadiakos, PAS Giannina and OFI Crete, but it should be pointed out that all four of these recent victories were chalked up against teams situated in the lower half of the Super League.
the hosts possess a home record which stands at 4-1-3 8/7 but interestingly, their three defeats on home turf this season have been against teams sitting in the top five of the domestic top flight. Therefore, a visit from 2nd placed Olympiakos on Sunday will be another big test for the hosts.
Key-Facts – Asteras Tripolis v Olympiakos
- Asteras Tripolis have lost their last 2 league matches on the trot, both by 3-0
- Olympiakos are unbeaten in their last 9 matches in the Super League
- Olympiakos have won 4 of their last 5 on the road
Olympiakos Prediction
As mentioned earlier, Olympiakos sit in 2nd place in the Super League but find themselves eight points off the pace of league leaders, PAOK as they make their way over to Tripoli to face bottom half outfit Asteras Tripolis, no doubt eyeing off all three points here.
Olympiakos bring a strong nine-match unbeaten sequence into this clash having won five of their last six matches overall with wins against Atromitos, Panaitolikos, Lamia and back-to-back away wins at Levadiakos and PAS Giannina.
The visitors also possess a steady away record that reads 5-2-1 10/5 and includes four wins from their last five matches on their travels while keeping three clean sheets at the back and failing to score away from home just once so far this season.
Forward Guerrero (4 goals) looks the most likely for Olympiakos as they chase a third away win on the bounce this Sunday evening.
Betting Tips Verdict
Asteras Tripoli’s previous good work has been undone with the recent back-to-back defeats while Olympiakos are displaying solid form right now.
