Greek champions Olympiakos will be battling it out against Israeli champions Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the UEFA Champions League qualification first leg encounter and the match could prove to be a very entertaining one.
Olympiakos Match Betting News
Olympiakos continue their ridiculous dominance of Greek football by claiming their 11th Super League title in 12 years last season and they managed to achieve the feat with consummate ease.
Olympiakos have been regulars in the Champions League over the last few seasons but they will once again have to go through the qualification rounds this term.
Víctor Sánchez is the new man in charge at the helm of the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium and the Spaniard will surely be looking to guide his side safely into the group stages of the Champions League.
The Greek side are most certainly one of the strongest teams in the qualification rounds but they have been handed a tricky encounter against Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the third stage of the qualifiers.
Hapoel Beer-Sheva Match Betting News
Hapoel Beer-Sheva managed to beat traditional giants Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Israeli Premier League title last season and the league triumph was the Camels’ first in over 40 years.
As a result, Hapoel Beer-Sheva have been handed the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history but making it into the group stages of the competition will most certainly not be easy.
Hapoel Beer-Sheva will be facing Greek giants Olympiakos in the third stage of the qualification rounds and it will require a brave effort from Barak Bakhar’s men to claim a victory from the tie.
Olympiakos vs Hapoel Beer-Sheva Match Prediction
Given their squad strength as well as pedigree in Europe, Olympiakos are the overwhelming favourites ahead of the clash and it is widely expected that the Greek champions will be able to establish a healthy advantage on the night.
However, the Greek side need to be wary of complacency and will need to avoid conceding any unnecessary away goals in order to enjoy a comfortable passage into the playoffs.
