With a 1-0 aggregate lead, Olympiacos will travel to Aris this Wednesday in the Greek Cup. The legendary Super League visitors have not lost a single game in the last 15 times that they have taken to the pitch. In addition to this, Olympiacos have also scored against Aris on each of the last 20 occasions when these sides have met in the past. On the other hand, Aris have failed to score only against one opponent in the last five games now - Olympiacos - not once but twice, in the first leg as well as a Super League tie which coincided with the same week as of the last meeting between the two teams. The only thing standing between Olympiacos and a secured win, is the fact that three of the last five away games for them have ended in a draw. This is going to be an epic contest on Wednesday for sure.
Aris vs Olympiacos Betting Pick #1: Draw
We believe that Olympiacos have done enough to get a win in the first leg and they just need to stop Aris from winning, even if it results in a draw this week. Aris have not seen very high-scoring games lately. 7 of their last 8 games in the Super League and the Greek Cup have ended in under 2.5 goals being scored. Going with the scoring record of both teams, we believe that this game will end in a 1-1 draw which will take Olympiacos' streak to 16 games without a loss and also secure the away side's overall aggregate win of 2-1.
Pick #2: Under 2.5 goals
There is also a heavy chance that both teams fail to score in this game if Olympiacos play a negative game, as they already hold an advantage and just need to avoid defeat. Irrespective of whether this game ends in a 0-0 or a 1-1 scoreline, we are pretty sure that a third goal will be very improbable going into this second leg. Under 2.5 goals should be a pretty decent bet from a risk-reward ratio too.

Aris Team News
One-time Greek Cup winner Aris will go into this game with just two injuries ahead of Wednesday. Central midfielder Bryan Dabo, who arrived from Rizespor at the beginning of the season, will not be a part of this game due to an undisclosed injury. First-team right-back Salem M'Bakata will also miss this game due to a knock and the new signing from QPR, Moses Odubajo will probably take his place in the starting eleven as he remains the only like-to-like replacement of M'Bakata at the moment.
Players to watch: Luis Palma (7 goals and 2 assists), Daniel Mancini (6 assists and 3 goals), Andre Gray (6 goals and 2 assists)

Olympiacos Team News
Olympiacos have won the Greek Cup a record 28 times in the past and they will be hoping to win another title this season of the same nature. The visiting opposition will not travel with just two members of their full squad. The new centre-back signing from Hellas Verona, Panagiotis Retsos will not be a part of this game after picking up a knock recently. So will be legendary left-back Marcelo who arrived from Real Madrid at the beginning of the season. This puts the away side a bit thin in the back-line but their decent squad depth should be able to compensate for the same.
Players to watch: Cedric Bakambu (8 goals), Pep Biel (5 goals and 2 assists), Youssef El Arabi (3 goals and 3 assists)
