- Venue: Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus)
UEFA’s recent reform of its two strongest European club competitions is arguably one of the best moves the organization has made in recent years. Olympiacos and Rangers are among the teams expected to advance to the knockout stage, and with a bit of luck, it wouldn't be surprising if they finish the league phase in one of the top eight spots.
After an opening-round defeat to Lyon, Olympiacos bounced back with two solid victories. First, they dominated Braga 3-0 at their Karaiskakis Stadium, followed by a hard-fought 1-0 away win against Malmo. Despite missing a late penalty in the match, Olympiacos' hero was forward Ayoub El Kaabi, who scored the game’s only goal after 30 minutes of play. While Olympiacos hasn’t been as dominant in the Greek Super League over the last two seasons as they used to be, their Europa Conference League triumph over Fiorentina has boosted morale. Their fans certainly wouldn’t mind a deeper run in the Europa League, even if results in domestic competition haven’t been up to their usual standards.
On the other hand, Rangers have had a mixed season so far. In the Scottish Premiership, they’ve struggled, sitting in third place with just 19 points, already 9 points behind the top two - Celtic and Aberdeen. Although their six points in the Europa League bring some relief to their fans, the overall situation remains far from ideal. Their last European outing saw them thrashed 4-0 at home by FCSB, with Czech international Vaclav Cerny stealing the show with two goals and an assist, earning the man of the match honors.
Olympiakos vs Rangers pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
These two teams are pretty evenly matched, with both sitting on six points after three Europa League games. A win could push either of them towards the top of the group. It’s tough to say who’s in better form going into this game, as both Olympiacos and Rangers have had their ups and downs in their domestic leagues. That said, Olympiacos might have a slight edge playing at home. Since their last European matches, both clubs have played three domestic games, with the same outcome - two wins and one loss. Rangers slipped up in a 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen, while Olympiacos had a surprising loss to Asteras Tripolis. Both teams have plenty of attacking talent, so it feels like the game will revolve around their offenses. Betting on both teams to score seems like the safest choice here.
