Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Olympiakos Prediction & Match Preview

• Maccabi Tel Aviv are flying high with a run of six successive wins across competitions.
• Olympiakos shipped seven goals in the last two losses.
• We’ve seen three or more goals in each of Olympiakos’ last five outings in all competitions.

Maccabi Tel Aviv shocked Greek heavyweights Olympiakos with a 4-1 victory in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League last-16 round seven days ago in Piraeus. The Israeli Ligat Ha’al leaders brutally punished the Greeks for all defensive errors on the occasion. Eran Zahavi starred with a brace, while Dor Peretz contributed with a goal and an assist on the occasion.

Maccabi Tel Aviv thus have a massive three-goal advantage to protect ahead of the return game on neutral venue. It will be played on Thursday evening in Serbian city Backa Topola. Maccabi continued their impressive run of form with a very important 1-0 victory over Beitar Jerusalem in the weekend’s Ligat Ha’al action. Robbie Keane’s troops are now as many as five points clear at the top of the domestic league standings.

The story is completely opposite with Olympiakos. They went on to suffer another heart-breaking loss on Sunday. Jose Luis Mendillibar’s squad fell 1-3 at home to bitter domestic rivals Panathinaikos four days ago. The defeat left Oly fourth in the Greek Super League 1 standings. Leaders AEK Athens are five points away at the moment.

Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Olympiakos Prediction

Maccabi Tel Aviv are flying high these days. They have won six games on the spin across competitions. Robbie Keane’s troops have also been super-impressive in the Conference League group stage, winning five of six games in their section. Their recent results have by no means been a coincidence. Olympiakos will go into this in completely opposite spirits. They suffered a 1-3 home loss to Panathinaikos on Sunday. We can hardly see the Greeks bouncing back in such a short time against such a strong and in-form opponent. The main pick is Maccabi Tel Aviv to win or draw at the 1.57 odds.

We are also very interested in the Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.61 odds. Maccabi Tel Aviv bagged at least three goals in three of the previous four outings across competitions. Four of Olympiakos’ last five games in all competitions produced goals at both ends, while all five fixtures saw three or more goals scored.
