The competition will take place on Thursday, August 19 at 9:00 pm, in the Karaiskakis Stadium in the Greek port city of Piraeus.

Last year, Piraeus more than confidently secured the championship. After 36 matchdays there were 28 wins, six draws and two defeats. The gap to the second PAOK Thessaloniki was 26 points. As reigning champion, the Greeks were once on the road in qualification for the royal class. There, in the second round against Neftchi Baku, two 1-0 victories came out of Azerbaijan. The third round brought two exciting attempts against the Bulgarian representative Ludogorez Rasgrad. Both ended with a 1-1 victory. Thus, the decision was only brought about in the second leg with a penalty shootout. There the Bulgarians prevailed with 4:1. After all, at least the play-offs for the Europa League are now on the agenda.
In the past season Olympiakos was once in the premier class. In the group C, Manchester City, Porto and Marseille were at least in third place. So the Greeks entered the intermediate round of the Europa League and prevailed against Eindhoven. In the last sixteen, Arsenal was defeated 1:3 and 1:0.
The Greek Super League will not start until next weekend. As a result, the team is not yet in the league. This could prove to be a disadvantage. A whole series of friendly games were played during the summer break. Seven at a time. They have five victories against Wolfsberger AC, Krasnodar, ZSKA Sofia, Aris Thessaloniki and Uni Craiova. Furthermore, the points were shared with Ufa. The only defeat against Salzburg had to be accepted.

Similar to Piraeus, Slovan Bratislava also secured the championship cup in the previous season. The gap to the pursuer Dunajska Streda amounted to six points. As Slovak champion Bratislava competed in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. There, the Shamrock Rovers were defeated 2-0 in the first leg. A 1-2 in the second leg should not prevent entry into the next round. It was there that the Young Boys had to be defeated. After a goalless draw in the first leg, the second leg was narrowly lost 2-3 in the distance. For this reason, the Slovaks slipped directly into the third qualifying round of the Europa League. The Red Imps won the first leg 3-1 against the Lincoln Red Imps. The second leg ended with a 1-1 draw. However, Piraeus is of a completely different caliber.
The 15-time Slovak champion had to admit defeat in the second qualifying round against the Finnish representative Kuopion PS in penalties last season and thus did not appear on the European stage.
The Slovakian Superliga has already completed four matchdays and is now in the league’s daily routine. This also applies to competitors. Slovan has made three league appearances and all three have been won. Together with Spartak Trnava, the elf ranks at the top of the table. The competitor has played one more game. The dress rehearsal at the weekend was held against Zemplin Michalovce with 3:1.

The odds for this match leave no doubt about the favourites role of the home team from Greece. Both teams met in the third qualifying round of the premier league in 2009. At that time Olympiakos prevailed with 2:0 in both strength tests. Also this time a threesome of the Greeks is to be expected. These show significantly more potential in their own ranks and also act in front of a domestic backdrop. For this reason, as part of our betting tip prognosis, it is advisable to bet on a narrow home win.
