Michael Owen Makes His Prediction As Arsenal Face Olympiakos

BT Sport pundit Michael Owen is backing Arsenal to progress against Olympiakos in the Europa League tomorrow night.

The Gunners have a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg at the Emirates and Owen believes they should have no problems putting away the Greek side:


“This new-look Gunners outfit are beginning to make winning a habit and I feel they will build on the 1-0 lead they take into the tie against Olympiakos from last week’s game in Piraeus. The Greeks did win their last game at the Emirates back in 2015 but they lost 4-2 at Spurs in the Champions League earlier in the season, and I expect their return visit to north London to end in another defeat.”

Owen is backing Arsenal to win but with both sides scoring on the night, which is not a surprising prediction considering the London club’s narrow 3-2 victory against Everton at the weekend.

Olympiakos don’t offer as much of a threat away from home, but although they did win on their last visit to the Emirates, as Owen mentions, this is a very different team and Arteta will be expecting his side to finish the job and progress to the last 16.

With the Gunners not playing until Monday night, with no Premier League fixture this weekend, they should be able to field a strong team which should have too much for their opponents tomorrow.
