Olympiacos vs Giannina Prediction

Olympiacos are playing catch-up in the title race and will aim for a win to remain in touching distance of the leaders.

Carlos Carvalhal's side are the overwhelming favourites. However, they have been on the wrong end of a couple of shock results this season, so they will not take anything for granted.

Giannina, meanwhile, started the season on a positive note, claiming all three points over new-comers Kifisia. However, they have managed just one win since then and are in serious danger of being relegated.

Olympiacos are likely to compound their visitors' relegation woes with a convincing win.
