Sporting Lisbon looked a class apart from Olympiakos when these teams met in Greece and are fancied to confirm that superiority on home turf.
The Portuguese outfit raced into a 3-0 half-time lead in that Champions League Group D opener and could easily have been further ahead before Olympiakos bagged a couple of very late consolation goals.
We’re backing the hosts at 27/20 to prevail by more than one goal this time in our Sporting Lisbon vs Olympiakos betting predictions.
Sporting followed that encouraging start with two narrow defeats against the pool’s big guns, going down 1-0 at home to Barcelona before losing 2-1 at Juventus.
Drawing 1-1 with the Italian giants at this venue kept alive their slim hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages, but a place in the Europa League looks a more realistic target.
After that last match, goalkeeper Rui Patricio said: “It’s never a good feeling to concede once you are in a winning position, but we should be congratulated for our performance nonetheless.
“We have to lift our heads. I will continue to believe we can go through right until the end. We’re still in with a chance despite being in such a strong group.”
The Lions were the better team in the opening period against Juve and appeal at 6/5 to lead at half-time and full-time for our Sporting Lisbon vs Olympiakos betting tips.
Olympiakos picked up their first point in this group when holding Barcelona to a 0-0 draw in Piraeus on Matchday 4.
Sylvio Proto put in a fine performance that night, but Barca were guilty of some moderate finishing after carving open the Olympiakos defence to create four one-on-ones with the Belgian keeper.
The visitors need a win here to stay in contention for third spot and a Europa League berth, so that could lead to an open encounter and leave them exposed at the back.
Looking at the Sporting Lisbon vs Olympiakos odds, we like 5/4 for a home win and over 2.5 goals in the game.
