Olympiakos Preview – Can Olympiakos make most of home tie?
In a tough Group C which comprises of Wednesday’s opponents, Marseille, along with Manchester City and Porto, Olympiakos know they must make full use of this opening group match at home at their Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki when they entertain French Ligue 1 outfit, Marseille.
A 2-0 aggregate win over two legs against Cypriot side, Omonia Nicosia, earned Olympiakos a lucrative spot in the group stages of this season’s Champions League and recent form suggests they stand a decent chance in getting off the mark with a win here.
The Greek hosts have put together a seven-match unbeaten run which includes five wins, all of which have also been to nil, and they’ve also been unbeaten in their last three ties overall in the Champions League too which includes an earlier win against Crvena Zvezda.
Marseille Preview – Can Marseille continue steady form?
The French Ligue 1 visitors have made a slow but steady start to their new season as they prepare for this opening Group C match away from home at Olympiakos, having made an excellent start to their domestic top flight campaign.
Marseille started the ball rolling with a valuable 1-0 win away from home against the French champions, PSG, and although they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home against Saint-Etienne immediately after, the visitors are unbeaten in their subsequent four matches.
Three draws and a win have seen Marseille pick up points against Lille, Metz and Lyon along with a 3-1 home win over Bordeaux but results away from home in the Champions League have been poor by comparison; the French visitors have lost their last five Champions League ties on the trot and have conceded at least two goals in each of these five defeats which doesn’t bode well for this upcoming clash.
