Wolves play their last chance to go to Europe next season
Wolverhampton Wanderers finished seventh in the Premier League and missed out on qualifying for the Europa League next season. Now he needs to win the competition to get another place in Europe. The end of the season was a weaker one, with only two victories in the last six matches. It was overtaken by Tottenham in the last stage. It remains to be seen whether Nuno Espirito Santo’s players will be able to overcome this failure and get a good result in Europe. In the Europa League, he started quite early and lost only one meeting at home, in the group, with Braga (0-1). The rest recorded six victories, with only one goal conceded, in the meeting with Torino (2-1). Mexican Raul Jimenez is the most dangerous offensive player.
- Probable team (3-4-3): Patricio – Dendoncker, Coady, Boly – Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny – Traore, Jimenez, Podence
- Coach: Nuno Espirito Santos
Olympiakos is visiting the island for the third time this season
Olympiakos became the champion of Greece again after a season dominated from one end to the other. He was eighteen points ahead of second-placed PAOK Thessaloniki. At the same time, he had a good career in Europe. He started in the Champions League groups, where he had as opponents Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, and Steaua Rosie Belgrade. He scored twice in London, with Tottenham, and led 2-1 at the break. He returned to London in February, when he met Arsenal in the sixteenth Europa League. He scored again and managed to advance to the next round, after winning 2-1 after extra time. Travel to the UK is profitable. Moroccan Youseff El Arabi is the Greek top scorer this season.
- Olympiakos (4-3-3): Jose Sa – Elabdellaoui, Ousseynou Ba, Cisse, Tsimikas – Guilherme, Bouchalakis, Camara – Valbuena, El Arabi, Masouras
- Coach: Pedro Martins
- Suspended: Ruben Semedo
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Olympiakos Piraeus Picks
It is an open meeting, both teams keeping a good chance to move on. The result of the round, 1-1, can be a dangerous one for the hosts, who can also qualify with a 0-0. Olympiakos will start strong and will try to score as soon as possible to cancel out that English advantage. I saw that he was twice in England and each time he scored a double. My bet is on this trend, with Olympiakos scoring at least once.
