Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats

Olympiakos Piraeus, who have the most scored goals (53) in Super League, have an excellent away record in the Super League so far with 8-5-0 from 13 games. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus PAOK. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Olympiakos Piraeus, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Olympiakos Piraeus goalkeeper Jose Pedro Malheiro de Sa is eager to challenge this, with his 379 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Olympiakos Piraeus as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Greek Cup match against PAOK (2-3). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Panaitolikos in the Super League.

A huge disappointment for Olympiakos Piraeus in their last match (vs PAOK). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

Olympiakos Piraeus are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 13 away games so far. Olympiakos Piraeus's manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals.
