Olympiakos Piraeus and Bayern Munich face Tuesday night in the third round of the Champions League groups. The two are part of group B, already led with authority by Bayern, a team that has prevailed in both games, with the Red Star Belgrade and Tottenham, the last humiliated even in London, in the fantastic success with 7-2.
Bayern are not trying to humiliate their opponent. This is his style of play, this is what the German mentality taught him: If you can score another goal, why not do it? And this season, he’s back with what. He also had formidable lines of construction and attack in the past championships, but Lewandowski’s form, Gnabry’s rapid growth or Coutinho’s perfect integration are additional arguments.
Defensively, though, there are issues to focus on, and this is seen with the naked eye. 12 official matches were played by the Bavarians this season, 9 of them receiving a goal. Moreover, in the last 4 consecutive matches, Bayern have each scored two goals each. In the series is the clear victory at Tottenham, but also the failure with Hoffenheim at home (1-2) or draw at Augsburg (2-2) at the weekend. Olympiakos will seek to take advantage of these deficiencies and would not be excluded at all from reaching its target. On its own ground, the Greek band is reducible. We only exemplify with the draw of the match with Tottenham, the game in which, although it was led by 0-2, Oli returned to the table, not far from passing all points.
Probable teams
Olympiakos Piraeus: José Sa – Tsimikas, Meria, Semedo, Elabdellaoui – Camara, Bouchalakis, Guilherme – Masouras, Guerrero, Daniel Podence
Bayern Munich: Neuer – Alaba, Hernandez, Pavard, Kimmich – Thiago, Tolisso – Coman, Coutinho, Gnabry – Lewandowski
PREDICTION: Bayern Munich to win @ 1,40
