Kairat vs Olympiacos prediction
Kairat and Olympiacos have picked up just one point and two points respectively over the course of their five league phase fixtures so far, underlining the importance of a win for both teams in this encounter, with neither having tasted victory as of yet. Kairat will hope that home advantage can help tip the scales in their favour, whilst Olympiacos can take heart from their fighting display against Real Madrid.
The only point gained by Kairat so far came at home to Pafos in a 0-0 draw and since then, a sterling display away at Italian giants Inter Milan saw them narrowly beaten 2-1 by last season’s Champions League runners-up. As for Olympiacos, they were involved in a thriller which saw them come agonisingly close to salvaging a draw, but ultimately losing 5-4 to Real Madrid.
If Olympiacos show the same level of attacking intent and cutting edge that we saw from them last time out in Europe then they should find the net more than once and stand an excellent chance of picking up a positive result. For Kairat, they need to really go for it offensively such is the importance of gaining three points, even if that comes with an element of risk. Therefore, we could be in for an entertaining battle and backing over 2.5 goals along with both teams scoring looks a shrewd play.
Kairat vs Olympiacos Tip: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score
