Olympiacos vs AO Xanthi Match Preview
Ernesto Valverde’s Olympiakos were poor in their midweek Greek Cup to PAOK which saw them exit the competition. It was possibly the club’s worst performance of the season. The focus now shifts to winning the league and with a seven-point advantage at the top, Olympiakos are the clear favorites. There is still work to be done however and the team will take another step towards the title with a victory over Xanthi this season.
Going against a team that has won all nine of their home matches already this season, Xanthi would be forgiven for having a measure of fear. Xanthi however have staged a fine turn around this season achieving midtable security when at one point relegation looked a distinct possibility. In a tough part of their schedule where they have played PAOK and AEK in consecutive matches, Xanthi knows that their final league position will be determined by the matches to come after this weekend.
