Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats

Home games in the Super League have been a walk in the park for Olympiakos Piraeus so far, with 21 points won from 7 matches; 7 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses.

A nice win for Olympiakos last time playing, versus Larissa. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Giorgos Masouras, Bruma, El Arbi Hillel Soudani and Youssef El Arabi (2) scoring for the victors. A 1-1 draw away before that, with AEK Athens the opponent.

As mentioned above, Olympiakos Piraeus "killed" Larissa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Asteras Tripolis in only three days.

Olympiakos are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki in their league games, having scored an impressive 21 goals in 7 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Olympiakos have only let in 2 goals at home.
