📰 Team News: Olympiacos
Francisco Ortega (unknown injury) and Giulian Biancone (unknown injury) won’t be playing for Olympiacos manager José Mendilibar.
It seems likely that Τhrylos could opt for a 4-3-3 system this time and select K. Tzolakis, Rodinei, Panagiotis Retsos, David Carmo, Quini, Santiago Hezze, Vicente Iborra, Chiquinho, Daniel Podence, Ayoub El Kaabi and K. Fortounis.
🗞️ Team News: Aston Villa
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has some current player fitness concerns. Álex Moreno (unknown injury), Emiliano Buendía (Cruciate ligament tear), Boubacar Kamara (Knee injury), Tyrone Mings (Cruciate ligament tear) and Jacob Ramsey (Toe injury) won’t be making appearances.
It’s our belief that The Villans seem likely to elect for a 3-2-4-1 system, going with Emiliano Martinez, Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne, Moussa Diaby, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.
🔮 Prediction
In this game, Aston Villa will, in all probability, see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
At the same time, Olympiacos could well struggle scoring goals of their own- but, we do see them being dangerous at times, too.
We’re predicting a 1-3 winning score for Aston Villa by the conclusion of the game.
