S.P.Read Esq: Olympiakos v Arsenal

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Champions League game on Wednesday between OLYMPIAKOS v ARSENAL and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

SPreadIt’s all very Greek to me. A sporting conundrum that would test the prowess of Rachel Riley and for Arsenal the countdown clock is very much ticking.

The mathematics for the Gunners tonight is that nothing other than a win will do to for them to continue in the Champions League and they are likely to need to win by a two goal margin. In odds terms, Star Sports (fixed odds) make Arsene Wenger’s men a 2/1 chance to qualify.

A 1-0 or 2-1 win will not be enough as they need a 3-2 or higher scoreline in Arsenal’s favour to give them a better head-to-head record than their hosts tonight.

Olympiacos are not shy themselves in finding the back of net having scored in every league game so far this season and are attempting to reach the last 16 stage of the competition for the second time in three seasons.

Despite beating Sunderland 3-1 at the weekend, Arsenal were far from convincing and remain haunted by a series of key long term injury problems.

Sep 2009 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Arsenal 2-0 Olympiakos

Although Olympiakos are most likely to defend for major sections of the game – often attack can be the best form of defence and I’m taking them to record win number four from four over Arsenal on home soil.

At 9.5 I am a buyer of the Olympiakos win index with Star Spreads. A draw gives a small profit and a win a profit of 25 – 9.5 = 15.5 x your stake.
