Volos vs Olympiacos Prediction and Betting Tips

Volos and Olympiacos will trade tackles in a Greek Super League matchday two clash on Saturday (August 30th). The game will be played at Panthessaliko Stadium.

The home side kick-started their campaign with a 2-0 defeat away to Aris last weekend. Pedro Alvaro broke the deadlock in the 64th minute while Fabiano doubled their lead three minutes later.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a last-gasp 2-0 home win over Asteras Tripolis. The game was seemingly destined to finish in a goalless stalemate but a dramatic end to the game saw Yusuf Yazici break the deadlock in third minute of injury time while Ayoub El Kaabi doubled their advantage four minutes later.

The win means the Piraeus outfit are one of six sides that won their opening game of the season.

Volos vs Olympiacos Prediction

Volos narrowly avoided relegation last season and they did not have the best start to the new season. They are winless in this fixture, highlighting the disparity in quality between the two sides.

Olympiacos kick-started their title defense on a winning note, albeit in a less than convincing manner. The Red-Whites played behind closed doors against Asteras and might have been affected by the absent atmosphere. Jose Luis Mendilibar's side are once again the favorites here and have been utterly dominant in this fixture.

Back the visitors to claim a comfortable multi-goal victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Volos 0-3 Olympiacos
