Aston Villa vs Olympiacos predictions
Olympiacos haven’t been the force of old as they had been in the Greek Super League, having won 47 times in total but haven’t been able to achieve that dominance in the last two seasons.
They currently sit fourth in the play-off table where AEK Athens are looking to make it two successive titles.
Olympiacos have only been without the title on a few occasions since 2000 but they’re set to go without in consecutive seasons for the second time in seven years.
The Greek side just managed to get past Fenerbahce in a thrilling quarter final that saw them win 3-2 at home, but lose 1-0 away but make it through on penalties.
Villa also made it through to the semi-finals on penalties against Lille.
Thanks to a last minute equaliser from Matty Cash to take it into extra time.
Emi Martinez made the headlines for his usual penalty antics but made crucial stops to help his side go through, something he’s always been equipped for and particularly rose to fame for in the 2022 World Cup, when winning with Argentina.
📝 Aston Villa vs Olympiacos betting tips
It’s set to be another close affair despite the odds massively favouring Villa. Olympiacos are used to this sort of game in Europe with Villa not accustomed to it for some time. But there’s going to be a distinct home advantage that plays in their favour and Villa have shown they’re more than capable in many games in the Premier League this season.
Villa Half Time/Full Time – 11/10
Villa have all but made it into the top four of the Premier League achieving Champions League football next season.
A feat that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
Unai Emery has been crucial in their successes his season and managed to get 20 wins so far and they’ve been much more successful at home.
That’s where Olympiacos could struggle, they’ve failed to win away more times than at home, and now they come to a stadium where Villa have only lost three all season in the Premier League.
Villa thrashed Ajax 4-0 at home in March, beat Lille 2-1 and remained dominant in the group stages, but crucially have not yet failed to win at home in this competition.

2nd Half most goals, Villa to score in both halves – 15/4
Olympiacos have a tougher time away from home but they also don’t score much in the first half while they also concede much more in the first half, away from home.
They might struggle against Villa who will likely want to start strongly.
Villa also average a pretty strong goal record in the first half, though they do score as most do in the second half. But especially at home.
This all leads to suggest Villa can score early on but Olympiacos might fight back in the second, but still also suffer their poorer away form.
