Olympiakos Volos vs AEL Larissa tips and predictions

Deadlock beckons as motivated Olympiakos Volos can share the spoils

This isn't a confident view but the short price for AEL Larissa renders them a terrible bet. Olympiakos Volos don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. In their last 3 matches Olympiakos Volos have only conceded 0.7 goals and AEL Larissa haven't conceded even once during their most recent 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 2 of the last 5 have ended with parity.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet because of the favouritism for AEL Larissa. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be sensible. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Under 1.5 goals in this game considering the current odds.

Olympiakos Volos have drawn 3 of their last 6 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Almopos in December. AEL Larissa have drawn 8 of their last 16 matches. Their most recent stalemate was when they shared the spoils with Thesprotos last Wednesday and while the prediction is for any stalemate, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be on one's guard about but the draw warrants consideration. Stalemate is the pick after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
