Arsenal VS Olympiakos
Arsenal is hosting Olympiakos tonight in the teams’ second game for the competition. Arsenal has suffered an unexpected 2-1 away defeat from Dinamo Zagreb in its first game and Olympiakos has suffered a 0-3 home defeat from Bayern, conceding 2 goals in the dying minutes of the game. As such, we expect an attacking minded approach from both teams.
Arsenal has managed 2 wins in its last 2 games, beating Tottenham with 1-2 away from home for the league cup competition and Leicester with 2-5 away from home as well in its last game in the league. In general, Arsenal has had 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeat in its 7 so far games this season, with an associated 10-7 goals’ aggregate. Today it will be missing the services of the attackers Giroud and Wellbeck and the midfielders Wilshere and Rosicky.
Despite the fact that Olympiakos has suffered a defeat from Bayern in its first game in the competition, it is actually in great form this season, managing 5 wins in its first 5 games in the league, scoring more than 3 goals per game on average in them. Tonight it will be missing the services of Maniatis, Da Costa and Milivojevic and possibly the services of Dominquez.
Possible line-ups
Arsenal (4-3-3): Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott.
Olympiakos (4-5-1): Roberto, Elabdellaoui, Botia, Siovas, Masuaku, Pardo, Milivojevic, Fortounis, Bouchalakis, Kasami, Finnbogason
Prediction: over 2.5 goals and 1, odd: 2.05 BET365
