Peter Olayinka is 26 years old as of June 2022.

Peter Olayinka attended football academies in Ibadan (Baba Boss) and Lagos (Lion FC), where he got his footballing education at a young age.&nbsp;

As a 17-year-old in 2012, the lanky forward secured a move overseas to play for the U19 side of Albanian side Bylis. A protracted and complicated relationship with Bylis saw Olayinka miss a move to FC Porto and also play in Cyprus for a year.

In 2014, Olayinka finally joined Skenderbeu FC where he had a fruitful two-year spell before moving to Belgian Super Lig side Gent.&nbsp;

At Gent, he was not so successful and had to take in two loan spells at Dukla Prague and Zulte Waregem respectively before leaving permanently in 2018 for Slavia Prague.

Since joining Slavia Prague in the summer of 2018, Olayinka has hit the limelight playing in both the UEFA Champions League, the Europa League and recently the Europa Conference League for the Czech side.

<h3>Peter Olayinka Salary and Contract</h3>

Information about the salary of Peter Olayinka is quite scarce but the Nigerian international was signed to a £7800-a-week salary in 2018 when he joined Slavia Prague.

<h3>What is Peter Olayinka's Net Worth?</h3>

The couple seems to be expecting their first child after an Instagram post in June 2022 showed Yetunde Barnabas with an obvious baby bump.

<h3>Peter Olayinka Super Eagles Career</h3>

Peter Olayinka was rumoured to be in line for a call-up to the Albanian national team during the earlier years of his career. However, in October 2019 the 26-year-old striker made his debut for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a friendly against Brazil.

The Slavia Prague striker most recently made the final squad to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon where he featured in two matches. He is yet to score a goal for the Super Eagles.

Peter Olayinka seems fairly settled at Slavia Prague and as such he is not in the transfer news headlines often. Despite his present contract expiring in less than 12 months, the Nigerian striker seems to have done enough to earn another extension at the Czech side.

The first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals have been played and featured heavy representation from Nigerian players. There was at least one player of Nigerian descent in each of the four games yesterday.

Yira Sor and Peter Olayinka were both on the scoresheet for Sparta Prague in a 3-3 draw against Cyril Dessers’ Feyenoord.

Captain fantastic Olayinka Peter and Yira Sor can't stop scoring in the Europa Conference League.

Victor Boniface came off the bench for Bodo Glimt in the 2-1 win over Roma who were led by English-Nigerian striker, Tammy Abraham.

Tammy Abraham was caged for 90 minutes after a fine save denied him early in the game.

Kelechi Iheanacho started for Leicester City but was replaced by fellow Super Eagle Ademola Lookman in a goalless draw against Noni Madueke’s PSV.

The trio of Madueke,  Iheanacho and Lookman were in action in the Leicester vs PSV tie.

Chuba Akpom started for PAOK in the 2-1 loss away at Marseille, rounding up the Nigerian involvement in UEFA’s third-grade competition.

The current UEFA Europa Conference League top scorer is Tammy Abraham, the English international with Nigerian roots has scored seven goals for Roma in the competition this season.

Tammy Abraham is the highest-scoring Englishman across all competitions this season in Europe

Followed closely by Yira Sor who has been on fire in this competition for Slavia Prague with six goals and three assists so far.

No player has more goal involvements in the Conference League than the impressive Sor who has remarkably achieved all of this in just nine games.

The player with the next-highest Conference League goal involvements is Cyriel Dessers who has scored six goals and provided two assists for Feyenoord.

Cyriel Dessers got his fourth goal of the UEFA Europa Conference League season against Partizan

Dessers has played nine games in the competition but only three of those have been from the start which makes his numbers far more impressive.

Only the aforementioned three players have scored more than Peter Olayinka in this competition, the Super Eagles striker has four goals and an assist in nine games for Slavia Prague.

In a nutshell, one half-Nigerian and three full Nigerians (two of which have played for the Super Eagles) currently sit among the top four goalscorers in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Yira Sor’s three assists is also the second-highest assists total in the competition.

Honourable mentions also go out to Stephen Odey who scored three goals for Randers before they got knocked out.

Stephen Odey celebrates his goal against Leicester City.

And also the likes of Taiwo Awoniyi of Union Berlin, Chuba Akpom of PAOK, Ezequiel Henty of Slovan Bratislava all scored twice each in the competition.

Clearly, the UEFA Europa Conference League is a conducive environment for Nigerian players, long may it continue.

Nigerians shining in the UEFA Europa Conference League

Nigerian players continue to thrive in the inaugural season of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Nigerians among the top performers in the UEFA Europa Conference League

Eight Europa Conference League games will be played today, the second leg fixtures of the playoff round to determine which eight teams will advance to the next round.

Here are the surest betting options from each of those eight games.

Having pulled off yet another shocker by winning 3-1 at Celtic Park last week, Bodo Glimt must now defend their turn and they cannot afford to lose by more than one goal here.

Bodo have a stellar home record in this year’s competition, they beat Roma 6-1 in the group stage and can do enough to at least earn a draw tonight against Celtic.

Bodo Glimt to win or draw is priced at a massive 1.71 odds which gives punters an opportunity to take full advantage.

PSV won the first leg at home as expected but their failure to score more than one goal has left this tie wide open as they travel to Israel to face Maccabi Haifa.

A home handicap 2:0 at 1.25 odds could work best here, even if Maccabi were to lose at home, it is unlikely they do so by more than a goal margin.&nbsp;

<h3>Partizan Belgrade v Sparta Prague</h3>

A late goal won Partizan Belgrade the first leg away from home and the second leg promises to be just as tight which could mean a slow start.

A 15-minute draw is available at 1.22 odds and the 20-minute draw is at 1.35 odds, both very possible options.

Marseille won the first leg at the Stade Velodrome 3-1 and may well repeat the trick when they play in Baku, Azerbaijan later today.

Marseille are valued at 2.15 odds for a very possible away win but if that scares you, then try the x2, Marseille to win or draw is at 1.25 odds.

Brothers! Ndidi and Lookman in a warm embrace.

Leicester City won the first leg 4-1 at the King Power Stadium with the help of Nigerians, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ademola Lookman and Wilfried Ndidi who got on the scoresheet.

Randers and their own Nigerian duo of Tosin Kehinde and Stephen Odey will be primed for revenge which they most likely will not get, Leicester to win again is at 1.67 odds, take it.

Midtjylland emerged victorious 1-0 at home but this might not be a close encounter the second time around.&nbsp;Over 1.5 has been priced at 1.37 odds, that is the surest bet here.

Peter Olayinka played the full 90 minutes as Slavia Prague won the first leg 3-2 in Turkey but Fenerbahce could be motivated to make a comeback in the second leg.

It is advisable to bet on goals in this one, over 1.5 is at 1.27 odds, over 2.5 goals at 1.88 odds and both teams to score at 1.71 odds, pick your poison.

Vitesse lost the first leg 2-1 away from home and are expected to right that wrong with a home win today but another upset might just be in the air.

The home team will be without Lois Openda and Richedly Bazoer, their two best players making it difficult to see how they can beat Rapid Vienna convincingly.

An away handicap 0:2 option looks good here, 1.24 odds for Rapid Vienna to not lose by more than a one-goal margin.&nbsp;

UEFA Europa Conference League betting preview

Predicting the best option for every UEFA Europa Conference League game today.

The surest bet for every Conference League playoff 2nd leg game

The first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-offs will kick off today with 16 teams jostling for eight spots in the round of 16 of the inaugural edition.

Slavia Prague travel to Turkey to take on Fenerbahce without the services of seven first-team players. The Czech outfit are in better form than their hosts and will have Peter Olayinka leading the line but Fenerbahce have the upper hand at home.

1.35 odds for a home win or draw seems reasonable, the double chance on Fenerbahce is your best bet.

Danish side, Midtjylland have scored and conceded in seven of their last 10 matches while PAOK have scored in nine of their last 10.

Both teams to score in this one is available at 1.77 odds which more than fair and likely to occur.

All signs point to a home win here, PSV are the better team both currently and historically and they are playing at home, it is a no-brainer.

1.26 odds is not a lot but a solid nice booster on the accumulator for what is an almost guaranteed PSV win.

Both teams are in wretched form at the moment, Rapid Vienna have lost five of their last six games while Vitesse are currently on a four-game losing streak.

But what they have in common even in their bad form is goals, they score and especially ship lots of goals.

Eight of Rapid Vienna’s last 10 games have ended in over 2.5 goals or more, the same for Vitesse in seven of their last 10.

Over 2.5 goals option in this one is available at 1.84 odds.

Celtic stretched their winning run to nine games

Celtic are currently on an incredible 17-game unbeaten run with only one draw in that period and nine consecutive wins which they are favoured to extend to 10 against Bodo Glimt.

Bodo Glimt are usually a very good side with a capacity to wreak havoc on their day, they did thrash Roma 6-1 in the group stage. But the problem here is that Bodo have not played a competitive game since the Norwegian league ended in November 2021.

Celtic have played 12 and won 11 games within that period which is why they should have the edge here, valued at 1.45 odds for a home win.

Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho (Instagram/Leicester City)

Leicester City are winless in their last five games but they are still overwhelming favourites to win this clash against Danish side, Randers at 1.26 odds.

It remains to be seen how seriously Brendan Rodgers takes this competition but whatever team he fields should still be able to get the job done.

Another game with a clear favourite, Marseille should make light work of Azerbaijani opposition, Qarabag when they face off at the Stade Velodrome.

Marseille are valued at 1.31 for a home win.

<h3>Sparta Prague vs Partizan Belgrade</h3>

Two evenly matched teams will take on each other which implies caution earlier on so a 20-minute draw at 1.37 odds is your best bet.

Slavia Prague and Super Eagles forward Peter Olayinka believes he can grab some goals in the final Group game against Guinea Bissau.

Olayinka is expected to make his first appearance for the Super Eagles at this year's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Although the Super Eagles have created chances freely, putting them away has been another story entirely.&nbsp;

Olayinka believes if given the chance he can provide the goals the team needs.

“If I get the chance to start against Guinea-Bissau, I will do my best to help us get a good result,” he told the media in Garoua.

“Every striker likes to score goals and I believe I can do that for the Super Eagles.

“The entire team is looking forward to the game against Guinea-Bissau and it will be great to maintain our performance from the game against Egypt and Sudan," the Slavia Prague forward said.

Like many in the Eagles' camp, Olayinka shares an optimism that the team has all it takes to go all the way.

“We want to keep winning and show our readiness to go all the way,” Olayinka said.

The Super Eagles play the Djuturus of Guinea Bissau on Wednesday in Garoua.

Peter Olayinka could make his AFCON debut against Guinea-Bissau.

<h2>Sanusi’s Porto get Chelsea&nbsp;</h2>

Following their impressive performance in the Round-of-16, Porto have been drawn against Chelsea for the quarterfinals.

It will be another opportunity for Super Eagles left-back Zaidu Sanusi to impress in the Champions League, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/how-did-super-eagles-left-back-zaidu-sanusi-fare-against-juventus-and-cristiano/n20zvfs">where he has had some fine performances this season</a>.&nbsp;

Sanusi has looked right at home at Porto, the club he joined this season, and in his debut Champions League campaign, the Nigerian has shown he has the abilities to perform at this level.

After scoring in the Round-of-16 against Rangers, Peter Olayinka will look to help Slavia Praha continue their run in the Europa League.&nbsp;

Arsenal are the next opposition, and Olayinka will look to add to his goal tally in Europe this season.&nbsp;

<h2>Iyayi Believe Atiemwen vs Samuel Chukwueze&nbsp;</h2>

Two Nigerians will clash in the last eight of this season’s Europa League as Dinamo Zagreb will face Spanish side Villarreal.&nbsp;

Atiemwen grabbed an assist as Zagreb shocked Tottenham in the last round and will look to add to his goal and assist tally in Europe in the last-eight.&nbsp;

The 25-year-old has two goals and an assist this season in the Europa League.&nbsp;

He will come up against Samuel Chukwueze, who is gradually getting into top form after a recent injury setback.&nbsp;

<h1>Apart from Rangers' Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun, it was a night of delight for all the Nigerian players in the Europa League's action on Thursday, March 18, 2021.&nbsp;</h1>

Samuel Chukwueze, Iyayi Believe Atiemwen&nbsp;and Peter Olayinka all played crucial roles as their respective sides progressed to the Europa League's quarterfinals.&nbsp;

This is how all the Nigerian players fared in the Europa League on Thursday night.&nbsp;

After winning 2-0 away from home against Dynamo Kyiv <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/europa-league-how-nigerian-players-fared-in-thursday-round-of-16-games/rz6z9b6">in the first leg</a>, Samuel Chukueze's Villarreal completed the job with another 2-0 win at home on Thursday.&nbsp;

Chukwueze created the first goal of the night with a cross which he floated from the right to the back post from where Gerard Moreno arrived to emphatically head down into the ground and past the goalkeeper.&nbsp;

The Nigerian forward had a bright evening, asking questions of the Dynamo Kyiv's defence.&nbsp;

There was a moment he dribbled and sat two defenders with his nibbling feet.&nbsp;

He played from the start but was taken out in the 71st minute.&nbsp;

Dinamo Zagreb had a 2-0 deficit heading into their second leg against Tottenham, but that didn't deter them.&nbsp;

On Thursday, they pulled off probably the most shocking result of this Europa League stage and beat Tottenham 3-0.&nbsp;

It was Nigerian forward Iyayi Atiemwen&nbsp;who helped Zagreb to that result. His assist led to the second goal of the night, which came in the 82nd minute.&nbsp;

He had far too much time on the right, cutting back to the penalty spot, where Mislav Orsic ran onto it and smashed a right-footed finish into the top left corner.&nbsp;

This was after he was just introduced in the 75th minute. He had a busy night for the remainder of the game as Zagreb scored in extra-time to dump Tottenham out of the competition.&nbsp;

<h2>Peter Olayinka on target, Leon Balogun sees red&nbsp;</h2>

In one of the most action-packed games of the night, Peter Olayinka's Slavia Praha beat Rangers 2-0 to progress to the quarterfinals.&nbsp;

The first leg ended 1-1, and Slavia Praha drew first blood in the second leg through Olayinka in the 14th minute.&nbsp;
