Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Both of these clubs are still waiting for their first win in the league phase. Kairat did well to qualify for this stage but have gone eight Champions League games without a win scoring just four goals. The final two qualifying rounds both produced wins via a penalty shootout.
So far in the league phase, their only point has been earned in a goalless home draw with Pafos. The current Kazakhstan Premier League leaders have lost their other four games to Sporting, Real Madrid, Inter and Copenhagen.
Olympiacos are also top of their domestic league, winning 11 of their 13 games. Life in the Champions League has been a lot tougher though. They have failed to register a victory with two draws and three defeats.
The Greeks began this league phase by being held to a 0-0 home draw by Pafos. Olympiacos then lost 2-0 at Arsenal and 6-1 at Barcelona. Their only other point came in a 1-1 home draw with PSV before losing an early lead and being beaten 4-3 at home by Real Madrid.
Summary:
A win is of paramount importance for both of these clubs. They are yet to register one between them in this league phase and are outside the play-off positions. Kairat lack experience at this level and have been struggling for goals.
Olympiacos are far more experienced than their opponents. Their run-in could be a lot more difficult with the bottom two sides to face and they will be going all out to get three points in Kazakhstan. Our main Kairat Almaty v Olympiacos prediction is Olympiacos wins.
