Pre-Match Analysis
Olympiacos: Riding a European High
Under José Luis Mendilibar, the "Legend" is operating with sky-high confidence. They recently secured a massive 2-1 aggregate win over Ajax in the Champions League play-offs and followed it up with a resilient 1-1 draw against leaders AEK Athens.
Sitting in 3rd place (43 points), Olympiacos is just two points off the summit. Their defense has been the league's gold standard, keeping 11 clean sheets and conceding only 9 goals all season. With a six-match unbeaten streak on the road, they arrive in Tripoli as heavy favorites.
Asteras Tripolis: A Scoring Drought
The "Star of Tripoli" is fading. Asteras has failed to score a single goal in their last five matches, suffering heavy defeats to OFI Crete (4-0) and Levadiakos (3-1). Currently in 13th place, they are winless in their last six attempts and are desperately seeking a spark to avoid being sucked further into the relegation scrap.
New manager Chris Coleman (appointed in January) is still searching for his first signature win, and facing the league's best defense is perhaps the toughest possible assignment.
Team News & Injury Reports
Asteras Tripolis Team News
Suspension Crisis: Asteras is severely depleted. Konstantinos Triantafyllopoulos, Issiaga Sylla, Mumo Muñoz, and Nikola Šipčić are all out due to yellow card accumulations.
Injury: Georgios Charalampoglou (hamstring) is sidelined.
Player to Watch: Federico Macheda. Despite the team's drought, the veteran forward remains their best hope for a goal, though service has been scarce.
Olympiacos Team News
Out: Veteran keeper Alexandros Paschalakis (calf), defender Lorenzo Pirola, and striker Roman Yaremchuk are unavailable.
Long-term: Theofanis Bakoulas (knee) remains out.
Player to Watch: Ayoub El Kaabi. The Moroccan is the league's premier marksman with 13 goals and will be licking his lips at a patched-up Asteras defense.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Asteras Tripolis (4-2-3-1):
Papadopoulos; Dani Fernández, Castano, Okoh, Pomonis; Alagbe, Tzandaris; Bartolo, Ketu, Kaltsas; Macheda.
Olympiacos (4-2-3-1):
Tzolakis; Costinha, Retsos, Biancone, Ortega; Hezze, Chiquinho; Gelson Martins, Yazıcı, Rodinei; El Kaabi (or Taremi).
Head-to-Head (H2H) and Key Stats
Historic Record: Olympiacos has 30 wins compared to just 3 for Asteras in their competitive history.
Last Meeting: Olympiacos won 2-0 at the Karaiskakis earlier this season.
Clean Sheet Kings: Olympiacos has kept a clean sheet in 50% of their recent away games.
Home Struggles: Asteras has not won at home in their last four attempts.
Prediction: Asteras 0-2 Olympiacos
Given Asteras's catastrophic disciplinary situation—missing four defensive starters—and their ongoing inability to score, this should be a routine evening for the visitors. Olympiacos’s control of possession (averaging 60%) and the clinical form of El Kaabi should see them cruise to a multi-goal victory.
