Tottenham vs Olympiacos Piraeus Prediction & Betting tips
With FC Bayern München, one of two knockout rounds in Group B has been on hold since the fourth matchday. The German record champions ranked with the maximum yield of twelve points in the first place and on Tuesday with another success at Red Star Belgrade prematurely fix the group victory.
The second rank could and should be clarified under normal circumstances during the week under the fifth matchday. If Tottenham wins at home against Olympiacos Piraeus, which according to the odds of the bookmaker is virtually no doubt, the English top team has its place in the round of the last 16 sure.
Almost even more exciting than the constellation in getting ahead, however, is the fact that “The Special One” Jose Mourinho makes his comeback in the premier class.
Almost a year after the Portuguese star coach was last on the sideline for Manchester United in the Champions League, Mourinho is now celebrating his personal international debut with the Spurs. In the Premier League, the 56-year-old could already celebrate a kick-off to measure. At the weekend, the “Lilywhites” won 3-2 at West Ham United.
The disciplinary fanatic was modest after the narrow success, although his mind should have boiled for a sovereign leadership due to the two conceded goals conceded.
It is now important to set and stabilize the defensive on. In the first leg, the English had to settle for a 2-2. This time, however, there are indications that Harry Kane and Co. will not show any nakedness.
Tottenham:
Jose Mourinho has brought the success back to London! For almost eleven months at a time, the Champions League finalist from the preseason in the Premier League was without victory. Last weekend, this catastrophic series ended with a 3–2 win at West Ham United.
The Spurs presented themselves in the capital derby especially in the first hour very grippy, aggressive and playful. Logical consequence was a sovereign 3-0 lead, the Heung-Min Son, Lucas and Harry Kane shot out. With the goal of Michail Antonio to 1: 3, however, started the big shaking.
In the final quarter of an hour, the “Lilywhites” were struck by the turmoil of the past few weeks, so Jose Mourinho defended his “unsettled” protagonists in an unusually humble manner following the match, which ended in a 3-2 draw and talked about how happy he was that the players and the fans could now start the short journey home again with a smiling face.
The Portuguese himself also gave great pleasure during the hectic 90 minutes, gesticulating a lot, giving instructions and feeling so emotional that you do not have to be a prophet to claim that “The Special One” was released a few months after his release. ” Red Devils “has returned to its element.
Nonetheless, the 56-year-old, who has won the UEFA Champions League title with Inter Milan and FC Porto and has a total of eight national championships to his name, has yet to complete a few construction sites on the Spurs. The number one priority is certainly the defensive, which was able to record a “clean sheet” in the current Premier League season.
In contrast, in the Champions League, the kickers from northern London have already won two matches to zero. Both in the 5-0 in the first leg and in the 4-0 in the second leg against Red Star Belgrade the defense network kept the “white vest”.
Since Mourinho traditionally puts a lot of value on the work against the ball, on Tuesday in the second leg between Tottenham and Olympiakos Piraeus again seems the tip on a to-Zero victory of the hosts quite obvious.
Nine of their last 13 UEFA Champions League home games have been won by Londoners. The balance in the new Tottenham Stadium, however, is balanced with two successes and two defeats.
The fact that in sum only three of the past eight matches were won in the premier class, we can neglect, as on the one hand with Pochettino another coach sat on the bench and on the other hand hit the Spurs on stronger opponents than on Tuesday.
Hugo Lloris, Michael Vorm, Erik Lamela and Ben Davies are not injured. Question marks also circle behind the missions of Tanguy Ndombele and Jan Vertonghen. Many changes compared to the victory on the weekend are not to be expected anyway.
Mourinho is a friend of well-rehearsed starting formations, which is why players like Christian Eriksen or Giovanni Lo Celso have to queue up and sit down on the bench.
Olympiacos Piraeus:
In theory, the Greek titleholder still has the chance to reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
The team of Portuguese coach Pedro Martins needed for two victories and Schützenhilfe of Bayern. Only if the red-whites win on Tuesday in London and in two weeks at home against Red Star Belgrade win (including direct comparison) and also defeat the Munich Tottenham in the end, the knockout round would still be achieved.
But that’s not all that realistic, especially since Piraeus has only taken one point from four games and conceded three defeats. After all, the Greeks presented against FC Bayern and against Tottenham quite competitive.
The home game against the Spurs ended with 2: 2, the two matches against FCB went 2: 3 and 0: 2 lost. Only the 1: 3 at Crvena Zvezda does not fit into the assortment of ordinary performances.
Not only at international level, but also in the domestic league, the Martins-Elf recently had more problems than expected. Two of the last three matches ended in a draw. In the table, the defending champion has dropped back to second place behind PAOK Salonika due to the poorer goal difference.
Because next weekend is also the important home game against the same point leader on the program, we would not rule out that the “Thrylos”, if it suggests that they lose the match, downshift maybe one or two courses and no longer on “hell , come out “go for a goal. This argument would eventually end our Tottenham Vs. Olympiakos Piraeus forecast to additionally strengthen the home side’s “to-zero victory”.
With the exception of the injured captain Konstantinos Fortounis, all players are available. Coach Martins will pick a more defensive approach on Tuesday, focusing on keeping zero for as long as possible, and then possibly launching one or two counterattacks towards the Gazzaniga goal.
