Bitesize Prediction: Athens Kallithea vs Olympiacos – 16/12/24

Competition: Greece Super League

Market: Olympiacos win

Odds: 2/5 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend their stay at the top of the Super League standings, Olympiacos will travel to Athens Kallithea on Monday evening.

Starting with the hosts, although Athens Kallithea might have secured a Super League return for this season, the Blues have an almighty uphill battle on their hands this time around. Drastically struggling to find any kind of stability, the Athens-based outfit are rightfully pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender this year. Last seen suffering an infamous collapse on home soil as they eventually fell to a frantic 4-2 loss at the hands of Levadiakos, they have managed to put just eight points on the board from any of their first 14 appearances against top-flight opposition. Sat rock-bottom of the Super League table, Tuesday’s hosts should be bracing themselves for a monumental challenge in midweek. Marking their return from November’s international break with a 2-1 defeat against Panserraikos, Athens Kallithea have failed to claim a single Super League win since opening up the new campaign. It should also be noted, the Blues have conceded 14 goals in their last six showdowns at the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium.

As for the visitors, while Olympiacos might have been disappointed earlier in the week as they had to settle for a Europa League stalemate against Twente on Thursday night, the Greek giants are enjoying what has been a real flurry. Making history back in May as they got their hands on a maiden piece of European silverware, Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men are leading the chase at the top of the Super League table. Looking to reclaim their domestic crown this season, the former Sevilla boss should be smelling a golden opportunity here. Looking to extend their buffer over the chasing pack, Tuesday’s guests are unbeaten in each of their previous 10 consecutive appearances across all competitions. With that extended flurry stemming all the way back to October 27th, Olympiacos have also impressed with their rugged defensive steel. It should be noted, Mendilibar’s side have conceded just a single goal in their last five outings. Two sides scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Super League standings, we are backing an away victory in midweek.
