First match for the playoffs of the Champions League between Olympiakos and Omonia. A replay will follow next week in Cyprus, with the away goal in force. The team that will qualify will enter the groups of the Champions League, the loser in those of Europa.
Olympiakos completed a dream season with the recent conquest of the cup as it already had the championship and in last year's Europa League it had made its presence felt, reaching the 16th of the tournament. A big goal now is to enter the Champions League groups, having the good fortune, due of course to the high position in the UEFA standings, to have avoided the qualifiers and to participate directly in the playoffs of the tournament.
At the same time, this year is the big favorite for the title in Greece, having a break in the premiere, on Friday it was easily imposed on Asteras Tripolis at home with 3-0.
An ideal start to the season for Omonia as with the continuous qualifications against Legia Warsaw and the Red Star it has secured its participation in groups of European organization. Now he will strive for the ultimate dream, that of the groups of the biggest inter-club organization, even if it starts as the absolute underdog in the matches with Olympiakos.
However, it is obvious that in the last two years Omonia has shown a huge improvement, culminating in last year's championship in Cyprus, where the break due to Covid had found it in first place, on a par with Anorthosis. And that he did not finish last year, he wants to do it this year, since his goal is to win the title after 11 years! On Sunday, it was difficult for AEK Larnaca to prevail with 2-1 and after 4 games it is in 3rd place with 8 points, two less than Apollon Limassol.
Olympiakos is a big favorite not only in today's match but also for the qualification. He excels in both quality and experience and will look for a qualifying score from today. Omonia excels in readiness as it has more official games on its feet but tonight it will have a difficult task. I will bet on the victory of Piraeus in combination with the many goals in the match.
Proposal: Olympiacos - Omonia 1 & OVER 2,5 goals with odds of 2.35 by Goalbet
