Our prediction for the match Kallithea vs Olympiacos
The "Blue-Whites" have periodically risen to the national Super League. Following a hiatus, they managed to return to the top division by finishing first in one of the groups of the Greek second league. The "Legend," on the other hand, failed to secure the domestic championship for the second consecutive year, finishing only third. However, under José Luis Mendilibar, the team achieved international glory by unexpectedly winning the UEFA Conference League.
Currently, the Athens giants are among the leaders of the Super League, a position reinforced by their thrashing of Volos in their last domestic outing. Simultaneously, in the Europa League, after a rocky start with a 0-2 loss to Lyon, Olympiacos managed victories against Braga and Malmö and earned draws against Rangers, Steaua, and Twente. Meanwhile, the promoted Kallithea remains winless, although they have managed to secure draws in more than half their matches. In the previous round, they suffered a 2-4 defeat against Levadiakos.
The underdog's stats reflect their struggles. Scoring just over 0.8 goals per match, they concede over 1.5 in return. The league leaders, while pragmatic, average fewer than 1.8 goals per game but concede one fewer on average.
