Likely Winner:

Arsenal will be desperate to show Olympiacos that they are made of tougher stuff than during the earliest days of Arteta’s reign. The hosts’ defensive crisis is certainly a point of concern for Martins, but they have no trouble finding the back of the net at home, and we are expecting a closely-fought first leg to end all square – with Arsenal claiming a vital away goal. In our OLY vs ARS Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 1-1 draw in this match.
