Volos and Olympiacos will battle for three points in their opening game of the 2024-25 Greek Super League campaign on Saturday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 victory over Kavala in their final pre-season friendly last week.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, claimed a 4-2 victory over Aris Limassol in a friendly. They were 3-0 up at the break courtesy of goals from Nelson Abbey, Kristoffer Velde and Pep Biel. Leo Bengtsson and Zakaria Sawo scored for Limassol while Theofanis Bakoulas completed the scoring in the 89th minute.
The Red-Whites will be hoping to kick-start the new campaign on a positive note. They share the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to Panathinaikos in their last league game, which saw them end the campaign in third spot. Volos played out a 1-1 draw away to Giannina in their last league game and finished 12th.

Volos vs Olympiacos Prediction
Volos narrowly avoided relegation last season, occupying the spot just outside the relegation zone. They will have a baptism of fire to start the new season as they square off against a side they have never won against.
Olympiacos, for their part, had a relatively disappointing league campaign last season, finishing in third spot, six points behind eventual champions PAOK. However, things were more successful on the continental front for the Piraeus outfit as they won the UEFA Conference League title. This saw them become the first Greek side to win a European competition.
The visitors are firm favorites and we are backing them to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
