    I am done posting until the World Cup if this play loses

    Olympiakos to qualify @-250 against Manchester United

    Let me start off by saying I am 1/2 Greek and follow the Greek league on a regular basis. Also follow the Premier League and United are simply not the same team they were in the past years and this number is overinflated simply due to name recognition and nothing more. Oly should be around -400 here if not less. First game ended with United getting dominated and Oly won 2-0. Greek teams in general are known for their ability and success to close down and play counterattack football. With this in mind I think United will have alot of trouble to score and if they don't score within the first 20 minutes or so they will be under great pressure as the game goes on. United's defense has looked awful this season as well and just over the weekend they gave up 3 penalties at home. With that being said I think Olympiakos will score a goal and once they score United need to score at least 4 goals to go through and thats simply not happening. Also it looks like the players are turning on Moyes and its only a matter of time until he is fired. The motivation for United is not the same for United players as it has been in the past years. This line is clearly off and I'm not gonna pass up on the great value and I'm on this play for multiple units as well. United are simply drawing dead here and its a longshot for them to qualify.

    Is he trying to go out on a limb or win a bet? He is right at -250 there is plenty of value. If the opponent wasn't an overrated Man U it would be closer to -500. Make this bet 100 times you really think we aren't profiting?

    these two teams are complete opposites, olympiakos is performing very well and has already clinched the local title, while man u is out of the title race for the first time in years, they are performing badly and it looks like they will not even secure a place for next years champions league, i wonder when was the last time that happened


    even so, the two teams are worlds apart, the difference in quality is big and if the moyes boys can manage to get over this psychological block, they can easily qualify. 2-0 is not a big score, all they need is to score one goal and it will become a cat and mouse game. not worth it at those odds

    my opinion is, if you want to bet on olympiakos, wait. if man u score a goal early enough, you will probably be able to get the same bet at +odds.

    This reminds me of when you bet on Ukraine to qualify vs France at almost completely identical line..

    All in and lost? Was that you?


    It's funny coz it's same situation as that of France vs Ukraine.

    Ukraine 2-0 France

    France 3-0 Ukraine


    Olympiakos 2-0 Manchester United

    Manchester United 3-0 ?? Olympiakos.

As long as France doesn't score within the first 15-20 minutes they will be under a ton of pressure and Ukraine will likely score 1 on the counterattack and finish them off.

    I too myself am greek but not willing to lay that much juice. Will be playing Olympiakos DNB. Greeks known for being able to park a bus and defend. Can see a goal or two being scored on a quick counter attack. United are a beat and broken team. Worth a play at $5.20

    seems logical but man u desperately needs this game to salvage their season and quiet the uproar of the fans. They certainly have the talent to win this game and net a few goals. Guys like rooney, van persie, chicarito, etc can score in bunches at home. If man u scores in first 30 minutes i really like their chances of advancing

    Im worried, yes MAN UTD are terrible now but Old trafford + champions league = man utd domination for the last decade. I mean AC milan are in a similar situation and played very well against atletico in the first leg although they lost 1-0. Does anyone remember when Man UTD lost i think the first leg to roma 2-1 then smashed them at home 7-1?
    But op is right Olympiakos will play this game like its the biggest game in their history and i think if they can hold off Man utd early and settle in to the game they should qualify and get the job done

    Same. I went with Olympiakos outright though @ 6/1

    Also just need them to score one goal to finish off another parlay

    That's a different Man United. That's a Man United with Fergie. That's a Man United without Tom Cleverley.

    Rooneny ends up playing as a deep lying midfielder. Moyes leaves Chicharito and Kagawa on the bench FFS and starts Cleverley..

    United have only managed to beat one opponent by more than 2 goals at home this season.

    Moyes ripped the heart out of United. United are heading out, but -250 or bust is not a play for me.

    this is why I disagree with OP re: any "value" as to Olympiakos -250
    one early-ish goal for MU, the crowd gets going, etc, could be a tough night for the visitors

    Liverpool had a lousy prem league season when they won the champs league not too long ago...
    not saying that will happen, but just pointing out that league form isn't all too important

    I feel bad for MOYES as a human being. He's being obliterated by the media ( rightly so ) , but dam, so much sht he has to take. He needs to play Mata in the right position, needs to stop being stubborn and start Januzaj, Mata, and KAGAWA.


    This game it's Moyes's last chance to restore any integrity in the club.


    Maybe Sir Alex pulls some strings gets the refs to favor em a bit red card?


    No one is looking at props, 5D is finally offering corner props I'm thinking Man U will be on offensive whole game Olympiakos will constantly be kicking the ball out of bounds/ to corners.

    Over 12.5 corners?
