FC Porto vs Olympiacos Piraeus Prediction & Tips
The Champions League of Porto and Olympiakos started in a diametrically opposite way. The Portuguese were beaten 3-1 by Manchester City while the Greeks won 1-0 with Marseille. The Group C challenge on Tuesday is therefore already very important for the two teams, one needs the three points to stay in the running for qualification, the other could already put the turbo and hoist itself towards the top of the standings. Porto arrive at the match after the 1-0 success against Gil Vicente who ended the mini crisis with two defeats and a draw from the previous three games. The Dragons are second in the standings at the moment despite the absences of important men like Marcano and Mbaye, both also out for the Champions League match. Olympiakos travels at a much higher pace, third at home but with two games to catch up, and back from a brilliant period with six wins and two draws in the last eight games. In view of the match with Porto, the absences of Camara, Cuypers and Silva are likely.
Porto have won four of their last five home games.
Within the friendly walls, the Portuguese are a real goal machine, 14 goals scored in five games
For Olympiakos away from home only one victory this season, 1-0 at Aek Athens.
In their last five away games, the Greek team have only scored two goals
Our prediction of Porto-Olympiakos is that of the victory of the hosts. The home team has often relied on the home factor and this time has no possibility of error. Losing the second race in a row would already mean having too many points behind the positions that qualify for the round of 16.
