On Wednesday, starting with 20:00, the match Olympiakos Piraeus – FC Porto will be played, within the group stage of the Champions League. In the round, FC Porto won 2-0 at home, through the goals scored by Vieira and Sergio Oliveira. However, Olympiakos Piraeus has won all 3 previous direct disputes in Greece! In addition to the Greeks and Portuguese, Group C also includes Manchester City and Marseille.
Manchester City won Group C, with 13 points, and FC Porto came out on the 2nd place, with 10 points checked in the first 5 stages. For the Portuguese, the match in Piraeus has no stake. However, Olympiakos and Marseille, both with 3 points, are fighting for the 3rd place in the group ranking, which leads to the Europa League in the spring. In the first two home games, the Greeks defeated Marseille 1-0 and lost by the same score to Manchester City. The French took revenge in return, score 2-1, but the direct results give Olympiakos an advantage in a possible tie after the last stage.
Porto has done its job and is already in the round of 16, and the dispute in Greece is only for the record. Sergio Conceicao’s students come after a spectacular success in the domestic championship, 4-3 with Tondela, the third in a row. Thus, Porto reaches 19 points and climbs to third place in the standings of the season, 4 points behind the undefeated leader Sporting Lisbon. In the Champions League away games, the Portuguese lost 3-1 to Manchester and won 2-0 to Marseille.
The motivation that the Greeks will prove forces us to invest in a positive result on their side, along with the corners.
