FK Krasnodar v Olympiacos Betting Tips [28 August 2019]
The match
Champions League regulars Olympiacos have one foot in their 19th group appearance, ahead of the second leg tie of the playoffs in Krasnodar. A 4-0 win in the first round means it is the Greeks who are favourites to make it the seventh-best record appearance together with Arsenal. The losers will have to make do with the Europa League draw, which now looks to be certain for the Russians. Krasnodar would feel hard-done, because they went into the last 12 minutes of the first-leg trailing only by a 30th-minute goal. However, three goals in the dying stages meant the Russian side now has a mountain to climb. They have scored four or more goals in four of their 27 European home games, but only in two games won by a margin that will keep them alive in this tie. Further, Krasnodar have lost three of the four UEFA ties where they have lost the away first leg – the last three in a row. Their challenge, however, is humongous as Olympiacos are yet to lose this season in the Champions League. They have ousted Viktoria Plzen (4-0 aggregate) and Istanbul Basaksehir (3-0) before the first-leg win. Olympiacos are in excellent form in the UEFA competition qualifiers, remaining unbeaten in 15 such fixtures (W12, D3).
Key Statistics
- Krasnodar have scored four or more goals in four of their 27 European home games.
- Olympiacos are unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League this season (W4, D1) and are yet to concede a goal.
- Olympiacos are unbeaten in seven away matches in the UEFA competition qualifiers (W5, D2).
The bet of our experts
Krasnodar have overturned a 4-0 deficit earlier in their UEFA competition games, but the challenge in this tie is at a different level. Olympiacos are yet to conceded a goal in five fixtures in the Champions League this season, managing 0-0 and 1-0 away wins so far. There is nothing in Krasnodar’s form to show that they can challenge the status quo from the Greeks.
