Olympiacos Piraeus vs FC Porto Prediction & Betting tips
In group C only third place is still undecided. With a win over FC Porto, Olympiakos Piraeus is assured of a restart in the Europa League.
Olympiacos:
Olympiakos and Olympique Marseille are the weak brothers of the group. Both teams fall short against Manchester City and FC Porto and each won one of the two head-to-head matches. On the basis of mutual results, the Greeks are above the French: in the home game it became 1-0 for Olympiakos, and on French soil it became 2-1. Based on the away goal, Pedro Martins’ team is still third.
Because Marseille still has to visit Manchester City in the last game, there is a very good chance that Olympiakos will be able to make a restart in the Europa League. Only when Marseille gets more points in Manchester than Olympiacos against FC Porto, the Greeks are eliminated.
Because FC Porto is no longer playing for anything, Olympiakos can just get the job done on its own. After all, nine of the last ten home games were won. Only Manchester City managed to win in Greece. It is striking that Olympiakos only took two in the last ten home games.
FC Porto:
FC Porto took ten points from the first four group matches and was thus almost certain of wintering in the Champions League. Last week, Os Dragões (the Dragons) were even able to grab the lead by dealing with Manchester City in-house. This did not work, as the team of trainer Sergio Conceicão got stuck on a goalless draw.
Because FC Porto is in any case second in this group, the sights can again be on the competition. In the Primeira Liga, FC Porto has fallen somewhat behind, but with three wins in a row, the team is now third with four points behind the surprising leader Sporting Lisbon.
With nothing more at stake than honor, Conceicao will give some players a rest. Pepe and Ivan Marcano are injured. Sergio Oliveira has been suspended for another yellow card and will therefore be spared. Ótavio and Jesus Corona have also played many matches and may get a rest.
