Olympiacos vs Omonia Nicosia Predictions

• Olympiakos won 28 of their 36 matches in the Greek Super League last term
• Omonia Nicosia failed to score in only two of their 12 away league matches last season
• Olympiakos have lost only two of their previous 15 competitive matches

Greeks can assert superiority in playoff encounter

Olympiakos ran out 3-0 winners when they faced Omonia Nicosia in a pre-season friendly in July and they can register another comprehensive win over the Cypriots in the Champions League playoff.

The winner of this tie will play in Europe’s elite competition next season and the Greeks go into the match well-prepared, having won four of their last five competitive fixtures.

Their spirits should be high after following their Greek Cup triumph with a 3-0 opening-day success over Asteras Tripolis and their squad looks stronger for the arrivals of Yann M’Vila, Ahmed Hassan, Jose Holebas and Pepe.

Nicosia have had a solid but unspectacular start to the Cypriot First Division, winning two and drawing two of their first four matches and they were taken to penalties in their last qualifying match by Red Star Belgrade so they are worth opposing.
