Atalanta - Olympiakos Piraeus

For the first match of the play offs of the Europa League, Atalanta welcomes Olympiakos. It will follow a replay next week in Italy, the regulation of away goals does not apply.

Atalanta fought it to the final of their group in the Champions League to continue in the knockout phase of the tournament but her last home defeat by Villarreal dropped to 3rd place and inevitably continues in the play offs of the Europa League.
It is now a question of how much he will be interested in the event while having the effort in the championship to finish in the top four of the standings and participate next season in the biggest inter-club competition. On Sunday night, it remained in the 1-1 draw in Bergamo against Juventus, a result that is unfair to it as it accepted the draw in the delays while it was better and deserved the victory.
The end of the 25th game found Atalanta in 5th place with 44 points, in minus 2 from the 4th Juve, but having one match less.

Olympiacos participated in the 4th group of the Europa League with opponents Eintracht, Fener and Antwerp, he fought for the first place and direct qualification but finally finished in 2nd place and now he is forced to reach the 16 of the tournament this year to overcome the obstacle of Atalanta.
In the Super League is the team that has been leading the championship race since the beginning of the year and imagines the big favorite for this year's title as well. After 22 games, with a record of 17 wins and 5 draws is in 1st place with 53 points and in plus 9 from the 2nd PAOK. On Sunday night, AEK prevailed in Faliro with 1-0 without impressing with its performance.

Atalanta, despite the ups and downs in their performance since the beginning of the year, remains a quality team and scores with ease. At home, however, he has given a lot of rights this year and I do not think he is as favorite today as the odds show. Olympiacos has the experience and quality to take advantage of the Italian team's defensive gaps and find the way to the net.

Proposal: Atalanta - Olympiakos GG with odds of 2.08
