Burnley v Olympiakos Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Burnley face Olympiakos at Turf Moor for the second leg of their Europa League play-off clash.

The Greek outfit are as short as 1/7 (1.14) to qualify for the Group Stage after winning the first leg 3-1, while Burnley are outsiders at 4/1 (5.0) to overturn the deficit.

Latest odds

Burnley have been victorious on seven of the eight occasions Turf Moor has hosted competitive European football and the East Lancashire outfit are 7/5 (2.4) to record a victory inside 90 minutes.

The visitors, who haven’t failed to win a Europa League qualifying match since 2010, are 7/4 (2.75) to uphold that record.

A draw would see Thrylos comfortably progress and can be backed at 11/5 (3.2).

Team News

For Burnley, Johann Berg Gudmundsson is sidelined with a muscle injury, whilst new centre-back Ben Gibson was sent off in the first leg and so is suspended. Nick Pope and Steven Defour are long-term absentees.

Olympiakos, meanwhile, could make one or two changes from the side that beat Levadiakos 1-0 in the Greek Super League.

Centre-back Roderick Miranda could come in but wide man Lazaros Christodoulopoulos will surely keep his place after completing a man-of-the-match performance with a fine free-kick.

Thrylos to break?

Pedro Martins’ troops might no longer have home advantage, but it seems plausible that their opponents’ desperation to bridge the two-goal deficit could disrupt their structure and hand the visitors opportunities to counter-attack.

Olympiakos to win with the -1 handicap at 5/1 (6.0)– which will land if they are victorious in the 90 minutes by a margin of more than one goal – could prove worth a punt.

Preview and predictions

Our best bet though is the 11/4 (3.75)on an Olympiakos win with over 1.5 goals scored, a shot which looks great value considering Burnley have shipped 10 in their last three and will be forced to throw caution to the wind.
