Slovan Bratislava
LWWLWD
Slovan Bratislava will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 3-0 Super Liga success against Skalica.
For Slovan Bratislava, the scorers were Jaromír Zmrhal (45'), Ivan Šaponjić (52') and Dávid Hrnčár (66').
It’s been all too rare in recent games where Slovan Bratislava have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Slovan Bratislava have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals along the way.
Olympiacos
LDWDLD
Olympiacos have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, having scored 7 times in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Olympiacos can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same matches. That being said, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will be replicated in this upcoming match or not.

Prediction
We think that Slovan Bratislava will need to apply a lot of pressure to score goals against this Olympiacos lineup who we reckon should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for Olympiacos when the referee blows for full-time.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
