Wednesday's Football Bet of the Day

Best bet

Olympiakos-Olympiakos double result
Champions League, 5.45pm Wednesday

Cypriot champions Pafos have come through three qualifying rounds to reach the league phase of this season's Champions League and they travel to Olympiakos on matchday one.

It is a short trip for the underdogs but they face a home team who are experienced European campaigners, thrashing Aston Villa in the semi-finals on their way to Conference League glory in 2023-24.

Olympiakos warmed up for Wednesday's fixture with a 5-0 demolition of Panserraikos in the Greek Super League and they have won 11 of their last 12 home matches in all competitions.

Attacking stars Ayoub El Kaabi, Mehdi Taremi and Daniel Podence were all on the scoresheet at the weekend and backing Olympiakos to be leading at half-time and full-time looks a good bet at odds-against.

Odds: 21-20 with bet365
