Porto – Olympiakos will be played on Tuesday, October 27, starting with 20:00 in the 2nd round of Group C of the Champions League. The match will be played at Estádio do Dragão in Porto.
In the first stage of this group, the host team was defeated 3-1 away to Manchester City. At Etihad Stadium it is very difficult to win, but it is noteworthy that the Lusitanians led 1-0 through the goal scored by Luis Diaz in the 14th minute. Then the “citizens” clearly dominated the game, they equalized quickly in the 20th minute through Aguero, and Gundogan and Torres set the final score in the second half of the match.
Regarding the course of the internal competition, Conceicao’s team gathered 10 decks in 5 rounds and is on the 2nd place, behind the rival Benfica.
On the other hand, the visiting group debuted in this group with a success, 1-0 at home with Marseille. The winning goal was scored by Koka in the 90 + 1 minute.
In the internal competition, Olympiakos collected 10 points after the first 4 rounds and is 3 lengths away from the leader Aris, a group that also has a more disputed match.
Clearly, Manchester City should not face major problems in qualifying for the next phase of the competition, while the other 3 groups will fight for second place. Normally, the Lusitanians should force the 3 points, while the group led by the Lusitanian Martins would be satisfied with a point obtained on Dragão.
6 direct confrontations, 5 times the hosts won and a draw.
Porto has won the last 5 home matches in the Champions League groups.
Olympiakos have lost 12 of their last 14 away matches in the Champions League.
PREDICTION: FC Porto to win @ 1,68
