Roma will meet Olympiacos at the Stadio Centro d'Italia in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. The Serie A side are playing their third friendly match while this is the fifth friendly for the Greek team.
The Giallorossi have endured a winless run in two friendlies and after a 1-1 draw against Kosice, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Toulouse last week. They will play two more friendlies before kicking off their Serie A 2024-25 campaign later this month.
The Red-Whites suffered a 1-0 loss to Ajax in their pre-season opener and have enjoyed an unbeaten streak in the three games since, recording two wins. In their previous outing, they overcame NEC 2-0 last week. They also have two friendlies left to play in their pre-season before they kickstart their 2024-25 Super League 1 campaign later this week.

Roma vs Olympiacos Prediction
The Giallorossi have endured a winless run in the pre-season thus far, scoring just one goal in two games, and will look to improve upon that record. Daniele De Rossi will look to make a few changes to the starting XI from their loss to Toulouse.
Thrylos have been in good form in the pre-season recently, winning two of their last three friendlies. Roman Yaremchuk has completed his move to the club but is not an option for this match.
Considering the current form of the two teams and their head-to-head record, a draw is likely to ensue.
