Arsenal vs Olympiakos
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 18 March 2021
Kick-off at 17:55 UK/ 18:55 CET
Venue: Emirates Stadium (London).

Arsenal failed to win a clash only once in the recent five fixtures across all major competitions. The Gunners will host soon after a 2-1 win at home against Tottenham in the last Premier League clash. Apart from that, the host has a two-goal cushion from the first leg in the UEL playoffs with the guest.

Olympiakos have won their last two visits to this venue and will try to build on that. However, the loss at home has affected their morale in the middle. They will visit on the back of a 1-3 win on the road against the likes of AEL Larissa last time out in Greece Super League.

Arsenal vs Olympiakos Head-to-head (h2h)

• None of their last 11 matches have ended in a draw.
• The host has recorded three of the last five overall wins.
• Both teams have scored in one of their recent four fixtures.
• Their previous encounter gave a 1-3 away win for the Gunners.
• The host has lost both their last two clashes at home since 2015.

Arsenal vs Olympiakos Prediction

Arsenal will be on cloud nine, coming into the second leg of the UEL playoffs. The Gunners will be delighted with their 2-1 win at home in the North London derby in the Premier League. Besides, the host has a two-goal margin lead in the aggregate over the visitor from the first leg fixture.

Olympiakos defeated the home team in a similar setting last season. But then, the Gunners had only a narrow one-goal lead from the first leg. Also, the host is in better form this season, with the likes of Lacazette and Odegaard finding goals for the English side.

Unbeaten in their last five matches across all major competitions, Arteta and his men will aim to advance further into the competition. The Gunners are the best English team in scoring goals this term in the UEL schedule until now. So, expect a high-scoring affair in ninety minutes at Emirates Stadium.

There is no doubt that the match is sizing to be a home win full-time. The Gunners have already dominated in the aggregate, and defeating the English side in such good form at Emirates will be easier said than done for Olympiakos. Besides, the away team has poor form on the road.
