Head to Head

This will be the first match between Olympiacos and Braga.

Olympiacos Form

Olympiacos won their first three matches in the Super League 1, scoring seven goals with one conceded. The run came to an end after a 0-0 draw against Panaitolikos despite enjoying 73% possession and 31-7 shots.

Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side lost their next two games on the road, starting with a 2-1 defeat at Aris. They lost 2-0 at Lyon in their opening Europa League game, a deserved defeat in France.

Olympiacos got back to winning ways on Sunday, beating Atromitos 2-0 thanks to Rodinei’s penalty and Ayoub El Kaabi’s fourth goal of the season.

Olympiacos Injuries & Team News

Centre-back Lorenzo Pirola is injured alongside wingers Gelson Martins and Georgios Masouras.

Braga Form

Braga went undefeated in their opening ten games this season. Daniel Sousa was sacked after four games with Carlos Carvalhal rejoining the club.

Carvalhal won his first four games in charge before two draws, the poor run ending with a 2-0 defeat against Vitoria de Guimaraes after Bright Arrey-Mbi was sent off in the 56th minute.

The Warriors bounced back with a 3-0 win at Nacional, scoring all three goals after the 77th minute.

Braga have won their last two games, both at home beginning with a 2-1 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League. They beat Rio Ave 4-0 on Sunday, Gabri Martinez registering a goal and an assist.

Braga Injuries & Team News

Centre-back Robson Bambu is injured alongside midfielders João Moutinho and Rodrigo Zalazar.

Expect Bruma to come back into the starting side here. Amine El Ouazzani and Roberto Fernandez compete for a spot up front.

Verdict

Olympiakos v Braga

Olympiacos have won one of their last four games and Braga are coming off three straight wins. I am expecting both teams to score in Greece where Braga will be content with a draw.
