Tottenham Hotspur vs Olympiacos Predictions

Tottenham have been able to put their embarrassing 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich behind them with big consecutive wins over Red Star Belgrade, winning the home tie 5-0, before going to Belgrade and beating the Serbian outfit 4-0. They come into this match against Olympiakos with Jose Mourinho at the helm and they’ll know a win here would be enough to see them qualify for the knockout stages.

Spurs have scored 13 goals in their four games in the Champions League but that huge defeat against Bayern leaves them with nine goals against. They’ve certainly turned things around, though, and they’ll still be riding the wave of confidence a new manager brings after Mourinho’s appointment last week. With an average of over three goals a game so far, they’ll be confident of another big result this week. 

Olympiakos haven’t enjoyed their Champions League campaign so far, with just a single point earned by the Greek side, following their 2-2 draw with Spurs in the reverse fixture. Since then, they’ve lost twice to Bayern Munich and once to Red Star Belgrade, conceding eight goals in the process. Things haven’t gone well for Olympiakos and it’s hard to see them getting anything from this game. 

With that in mind, we think Tottenham are in line for a big result and we’re predicting them to beat the 2.5 goal line by themselves. They’ve been scoring for fun in Europe and this should continue with them looking very good in the final third against West Ham at the weekend, during Mourinho’s first game in charge. 

We think a clean sheet should also be on the cards with Mourinho focusing on getting the defence in shape once again. As a result, we’ve predicted a 4-0 win for the hosts in a game they should find a formality, assuring themselves of a place in the knockout stages.
