Ferencvaros vs Olympiacos Prediction and Betting Tips | February 22nd 2024
Olympiacos are back in action in the UEFA Europa Conference League when they visit the Groupama Arena to face Ferencvaros in the second leg of the knockout-stage playoff on Thursday.
Dejan Stankovic’s hosts know they have to win here after falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat when the sides squared off in last week’s reverse leg in Greece.
Moroccan forward Ayoub El Kaabi put Ferencvaros to the sword as he struck in the 83rd minute to hand Olympiacos a 1-0 victory in the playoff first leg last Thursday.
Prior to that, the Hungarian outfit had won their three competitive games since the turn of the year, scoring 10 goals and conceding just three times during that time.
After two consecutive games on the road, Ferencvaros now return home, where they are unbeaten in their last four competitive matches since the start of December.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, turned in a superb team performance on Saturday when they cruised to a 4-1 victory over POAK in the Greek Super League.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side have now won three games on the bounce, scoring nine goals and keeping two clean sheets since a 2-0 loss against Panathinaikos on February 4.
Olympiacos are currently fourth in the Super League table, five points behind first-placed AEK Athens, and will be looking to make it four wins on the spin for the first time since last September.
