Olympiacos Piraeus hosts FC Porto in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 9th at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus)
Olympiacos started the group stage with a victory over Marseille. Probably, the Greeks hoped to compete for second place in Group C, but these dreams were unfounded. The team from Piraeus won’t catch up with Porto, but the third place is in question. Now Olympiacos has the same three points as Marseille, but the Greeks have an advantage in head-to-head meetings. Olympiacos could have secured the third position in the last game if it did not lose to Marseille. Then the Greeks opened the scoring but could not even keep a draw (2:1). Now a lot depends on the match with the Portuguese and the desire of Manchester City in the last round.

Unlike Olympiacos, Porto is not motivated for the upcoming meeting. The Dragons will definitely progress from the group from second place. Theoretically, they can catch up with Manchester City in terms of points scored, but they will not manage to displace the Citizens from the first position due to worse statistics in head-to-head meetings. By the way, Porto made a small sensation in the last round, having not allowed Manchester City to score in the game at Dragao. In general, the Dragons were lucky, but the English team had enough chances to score, while Porto did not have them at all. Nevertheless, the meeting ended in a goalless draw.
Still, motivation is the most important factor in sports. Olympiacos has it, but Porto does not. Moreover, the visitors will probably field many reservists. Therefore, we wink that the hosts will have every chance to score at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Olympiacos Piraeus to score over 1.5 goals
