FK Krasnodar News and Form – Can Russians turn the tie around?
The Russians are likely heading out of Europe after this game. This is their debut Champions League campaign and it’s fair to say the first leg of this tie didn’t go well. They made a trip to Greece and had to head back home with a 4-0 loss.
In the third qualifying round, Krasnodar had lost the first leg of their tie against FC Porto at home. But then they came up big in the second leg to make it through to the playoffs. That was some upset which they produced.
Krasnodar now have a W1 L2 record in the Champions League. But this is likely going to be too big of an ask for them, especially considering that they did lose at home in the last round.

Olympiakos News and Form – Can the Greeks win on the road?
Olympiakos have to just play this cool and collected and they will be in the draw for the group stage. They are well in control after that 4-0 home win. Three of their goals came inside the final twelve minutes of the match, which pretty much killed this tie off as a contest.
The result continued some great form that Olympiakos have produced this season. It is a five-match winning streak that they are currently riding and they still are yet to concede a single goal in this qualification campaign. In their two away games, they played out a 0-0 draw at Viktoria Plzen and a 1-0 victory at Basaksehir.

FK Krasnodar v Olympiakos Predictions
Olympiakos to win: The tie is all done and dusted and Krasnodar are highly unlikely to work their way back into this. The Russians failed at home in the last round so that really can only leave the option of Olympiakos, even though they don’t even need to break a sweat, to win the second leg as well.
