Olympiacos vs Pafos Prediction & Expert Tips

Olympiacos vs Pafos Match Preview

Olympiacos head into this European tie with excellent momentum, having strung together a dominant run in the Greek Super League. The reigning Greek champions have been in ruthless form in front of goal, winning their last three league outings without conceding.

A 5-0 thrashing of Panserraikos highlighted their attacking depth, while successive 2-0 victories against Asteras Tripolis and Volos showed that their defense is equally reliable. The fact that they combined nine goals scored with three straight clean sheets underlines just how balanced this Olympiacos side has become.

At home in Piraeus, their confidence is sky high, with recent wins over PAOK, Panathinaikos, and AEK Athens confirming their ability to handle pressure matches in front of their supporters.

The Greeks may have fallen short in their summer tests against European giants like Inter Milan and Napoli, but those friendlies are quickly forgotten now that competitive action is in full swing. Olympiacos look sharp, disciplined, and well-prepared to make a deep run in this competition, starting with this test against Pafos.

Pafos, on the other hand, have had a mixed but encouraging run across both domestic and continental matches. Their Champions League qualification campaign showed real character, as they edged past Dynamo Kyiv with a 2-0 home win and a 1-0 away victory, before overcoming Red Star Belgrade in dramatic fashion thanks to a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 home draw. Those results proved that the Cypriot side can rise to the occasion against established European clubs.

Domestically, though, Pafos have lacked consistency. A narrow 1-0 win away to APOEL Nicosia offered encouragement, but their most recent outing a 0-1 home defeat to Apollon Limassol highlighted their limitations in breaking down compact defenses.

Pafos remain organized at the back and dangerous on the counterattack, but their scoring output is not always reliable, particularly when facing disciplined defenses like Olympiacos.

Olympiacos vs Pafos Prediction

Olympiacos are deserved favourites here, thanks to their blistering domestic form, home advantage, and far greater European experience. Pafos may try to frustrate the hosts with a compact defensive setup, but the Greeks’ momentum and clinical edge in front of goal should be enough to decide the contest.

The standout betting angle is Olympiacos to win & Under 2.5 goals, priced at 3.60. The Greeks’ last three competitive wins were all by 2-0 or similar scorelines, combining clean sheets with controlled attacking play. Pafos’ recent fixtures also lean tight, with four of their last five ending under 2.5 goals.
