Arsenal host Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium (London) in the second leg of the Round of 16 in the Europa League and the match kicks off at 5.55 pm (UK) on Thursday, March 18. Read our reasons for Arsenal vs Olympiacos prediction and betting tips.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal head into this Europa League second leg in high spirits after dominating in Piraeus (3-1) and winning 2-1 in the North London derby at the weekend. The Gunners have been firing on all cylinders in this competition, scoring 2+ goals in all but one EL game this term (W8, D1), which saw them become the highest-ever scoring English team in the EL group stage. On the other hand, while Olympiacos bounced back from that first-leg defeat with an expected league victory, this is a tougher assignment given that they were eliminated at this stage of the Europa League in their three prior appearances. Furthermore, the Olympians have progressed when losing the first leg at home in just two of 11 such UEFA ties, but never from a two-goal deficit.
Arsenal were knocked out of the Europa League by Olympiacos last season despite winning the first leg so will be hoping lightning does not strike twice at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are in control of their round-of-16 tie after a win in Greece last week and their confidence was further boosted by Sunday’s north London derby victory against Tottenham. That was a fourth win in the last five games, all of which have featured at least three goals in the match.
Arsenal threatened to be architects of their own downfall once again in the first leg but two late goals mean they have one foot in the quarter-finals. Arsenal were rocked but recovered well and hit two goals in six minutes as a Gabriel Magalhaes header and a fine strike from substitute Mohamed Elneny earned a deserved victory. Confidence flows at the Emirates as Arsenal have recorded only two defeats here across their last 11 competitive home games and Olympiacos now must go for goals to get back in the tie.
Olympiacos were left to rue several missed opportunities when Arsenal’s late goals left them with a mountain to climb in the second leg in London. Olympiacos conceded twice in the last 15 minutes of the first leg and it was a similar story on their last visit to England in November when they leaked two goals in the last 10 minutes of a 3-0 Champions League defeat at Manchester City. They may struggle here again given their woeful overall record on English soil in UEFA competition (W2, D1, L15), failing to score on 11 trips.

Arsenal meet Olympiacos having previously clashed on 11 occasions across all European competitions, with no encounter ending level and Arsenal having one more win (6) than their Greek opponents (5) after the first leg. However, the Greek champions knocked out Arsenal in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League last season, while the Gunners last suffered back-to-back eliminations at the hands of the same side in 2012-13 and 2013-14 against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Having won four in the last five games, all of which have featured at least three goals in the match, Arsenal are red-hot favourites, so a home win and a high-scoring affair can be expected.
BettingKick’s Arsenal vs Olympiacos prediction is: Over 2.5 goals
