Olympiacos Piraeus - FC Porto Prediction, Picks and Tips

A close race emerged on the last day of the match in Group C in the battle for third place in the table. Olympiacos can finally fix this with a win against Porto. In the meantime everything is clear for the guests, because the second group seat is already set in stone. The trip to Greece will therefore probably take place without some regular staff, which completely reversed the starting position on Wednesday. The bookmakers, who play Olympiacos vs. Porto clearly distribute the betting odds in favor of the hosts, even though the guests are seven points ahead of the Greeks after five rounds. Since the outcome of the game is actually only important for the home side, one can certainly not expect the greatest commitment from Porto. But even a B-team will not have a chance, especially since the hosts have their problems with scoring goals in the premier class.

The Hellenes have not exactly covered themselves with fame in the current Champions League season. Since the narrow opening win against Marseille, it has lost four times in a row. In the direct duel they are still ahead of the French with the same points. With just two goals in five games, the attack in Piraeus in particular is not up to the international level. Against the cleared back team of the guests it will be difficult to score again, which is why we in the game Olympiacos vs. Porto put a forecast on a total of few goals. Sure, when you play against clubs like Manchester City, you simply concede goals. But the fact is that the Greeks basically close the shop in the back quite well. This is shown above all by a look at the performance in the league, where only three goals have been conceded in the nine games of the season so far. Against a B-Eleven of the guests, the defense of the hosts can certainly withstand quite well and that will also be necessary, because only with a win Olympiakos can buy the ticket for the Euro League on its own. In the event of a defeat, you would have to rely on the support of Man City. But even with many rotations of guests, they still have plenty of quality. The hopes on Wednesday are likely to rest mainly on striker El Arabi, who has already scored nine goals this season. We assume that both sides will take it easy on Wednesday, especially since the outcome of the parallel game is just as important for Olympiakos.

The guests will certainly have a few players on Wednesday who otherwise only have a place on the bench. As a look at the bans / injuries in the Champions League confirms, there are only a few failures to complain about at Porto, which is why rotations in the line-up are currently not a problem. The broad squad now enables coach Conceicao to compete with a strong team at Olympiacos, because the second suit should also be able to keep up with the Greeks. There are primarily differences in terms of motivation, because there is absolutely nothing to achieve for the guests on the last matchday. The compact defensive of the Portuguese did not allow the opponents in the premier class to hit a single goal in the past four games. So it will by no means be easy for the hosts, who are not very accurate anyway, at the end of the group stage. The attack by the Western Europeans is also fundamentally extremely reliable, because only once in the total of 14 games this season could not score a goal. Why the betting providers the guests in the game Olympiacos vs. For this reason, we do not fully understand how to force postage into such a clear outsider role with its quotas. Even if you certainly can't expect a playful spectacle, it can definitely be said that the game is open. In any case, the Portuguese will not lose voluntarily.
