it is still a big team in his own league. and always playing against weaker teams defending against them.
this means, even burnley again does his great defence, olympiakos know ways to unlock it. and if somehow they get an early score, and a "burnley must score" situation begins, then the nightmare begins. they will easily beat burnley at open football, which they do very well...
and olympiacos could unlock burnley defence. now what? no need to be pessimistic !!! 1 away goal is a treasure.
i see a decent chance for burnley beating olympiacos at turf.
the key is first 20 minutes. burnley has close down opponent at turf. give them a shock start. burnley players have to play with 2xpower first minutes. they should not let olympiacos players make ball. every greek player should see a burnley player running fastly towars him, when he has the ball. and he should see all possible teammates marked. greek players will say "what kindda hell is here?" then 1 bad pass...and bingo
after burnley gets 1-0 in first 20 minutes, then they need to turn back to their original style. olympiakos will attack. because this is their nature. and ball earned by burnley, while olympiakos is attacking is really valuable. scoring a second goal this way is not a fantasy. if somehow cant score the second goal, last 15 minutes should again be a boost time. burnley players should again repeat what they did in first 20 minutes. as burnley players are physically better than olympiacos, more chance here. because greek team will be prone to mistakes.
i really beleive that claret will get a 2-0 or an extra time victory followed by an 3-1.
beleive in your team, support your team
