Wednesday’s Football Tips: Olympiacos chase European history against Fiorentina

Must read

OLYMPIACOS have never won a European trophy so there will be the mother of all parties if they defeat Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League Final tonight.

The match is being held in Athens so it will be an intimidating atmosphere for the Serie A side even though they will have their own large support inside the stadium.

Olympiacos are outsiders with the bookies but will fancy their chances having comfortably swept aside tournament favourites Aston Villa in the semi-finals.

This Fiorentina side have been over the course before though and will be out to avenge their heartbreaking loss to West Ham in the final of the same competition just 12 months ago.

Olympiacos vs Fiorentina Top Betting Tips

There’s no doubt Fiorentina have the more talented players but the fact the final is being held in Greece makes this final a 50-50 call for me.

In those situations it’s best going with the better odds and Olympiacos are 11/10 to lift the trophy while Fiorentina are 4/6 favourites. So I’m going to take a flutter on the Greeks.

Nobody has done more than Ayoub El Kaabi to fire Olympiacos to the fire after he scored five times across the two legs against Aston Villa. The Moroccan striker looks good value at 9/4 for anytime scorer.

We could see a few corners after both the semi-finals averaged 9.5 flag kicks. That makes over nine corners worth a look in the final at 6/5.

Mjallby vs Hacken Top Tips

There’s some action in Scandinavia before the Euro showpiece kicks off and fifth plays sixth in Sweden as Mjallby host Hacken.

Both teams head into the game in poor form, with Mjallby losing their last two and Hacken collecting just a point from their last three matches.

This is a repeat of the first game of the season and it was Mjallby who edged that 1-0 on the road. They’re 6/4 for another victory at home and that could be worth a punt.

Betting against a lot of goals could be the shout based on their last meeting and under 2.5 goals pays 23/20.

Bodo/Glimt vs Sandefjord Top Tips

Three matches are taking place in Norway tonight as well and leaders Bodo/Glimt should rack up another victory at home to second-bottom Sandefjord.

The champions have lost just once in 10 games so far while Sandefjord have crashed to defeats in six of their outings so it’s no surprise to see the home win at just 2/9.

Sandefjord have drawn just once blank in their last five games though so it could pay to back a Bodo/Glimt win with BTTS at 7/5.

The player markets are probably better and Bodo’s Jens Petter Hauge is 11/8 for anytime scorer after netting three times in his last four games.
