Though he is indebted to the hosts after their triumph in Marseille handed Arsenal top spot, it won't be well received back in France if his team are viewed to have gone down without a fight.Olympiakos have lost two of their last three Champions League home ties and last won successive matches in it outside of the qualifying rounds in 2007, so the best option in this market looks to be either to lay them at 2.0 or back the draw at 3.6.Over/under 2.5 goalsThe initial clash between the two at the Emirates finished 2-1, but both of their meetings two years ago, both of Arsenal's away group games this season and Olympiakos' last two have all fallen below the 2.5 goal mark, and 1.75 is a decent price on that being the case again.To scoreAlex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored on his European debut against Olympiakos in September and is expected to make his second start. The youngster has netted in two of his first four for Arsenal in all competitions, and is 5.7 to fire again.Match odds: Olympiakos 1.99, Arsenal 4.4, The Draw 3.6 Read our Betfair review £20 risk-free bet plus £1000 cashback Like Like Post to wall 131 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles Women's Olympic Handball Qualifiying Tournament - Watch live streaming matches on bet36526 May 2012Day 2 of the Women's Olympic Handball Qualifying Tournament continues in Lyon, Guadalajara and Aalb 20:55 Alexander Consulting Fillies' Handicap (Str)26 May 201220:55 Alexander Consulting Fillies' Handicap (Str) 20:40 Thakeham Homes Presents Franklins Gardens Handicap (AWT)26 May 201220:40 Thakeham Homes Presents Franklins Gardens Handicap (AWT) 20:25 KKA-Highpoint Handicap26 May 201220:25 KKA-Highpoint Handicap 20:10 Jill And Clive's Silver Anniversary Maiden Stakes (AWT)26 May 201220:10 Jill And Clive's Silver Anniversary Maiden Stakes (AWT) 19:50 Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes26 May 201219:50 Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes More Stories Tags Champions League Betting, Champions League Odds, Champions League Tips, Olympiakos V Arsenal Betting, Olympiakos V Arsenal Odds, Olympiakos V Arsenal Tips
