Olympiacos Piraeus hosts Marseille in round 1 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 21st at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus)
The Greek champion had to overcome the playoff round to get into the group stage, and Pedro Martins' team coped with this task. Olympiacos beat the Cypriot Omonia in the two-match confrontation (2:0 and 0: 0). After the return match with the Cypriots, Olympiacos lost its first points in the Greek Super League, having tied with Giannina (1:1). Last Saturday, the Red-Whites easily defeated Atromitos at home (4:0), playing in the majority for about an hour.

The visitors became vice-champions of France in the last suspended season, having received a direct ticket to the group stage. Marseille returned to the Champions League after seven years. The last month for the team of Andre Villas-Boas turned out to be not very convincing. The Southerners lost to Saint-Etienne (0:2) and tied three times - with Lille (1:1), Metz (1:1), and Lyon (1:1). Only last Saturday Marseille managed to interrupt the unsuccessful streak with a victory over Bordeaux (3:1).
The Greeks traditionally play aggressively and assertively in their arena, and it will be very difficult for Marseille, which conceded in every match in the last month. I think Olympiacos will have every chance of starting its tournament way with a victory.
Prediction for the match: Olympiacos Piraeus to win with 0.0 handicap
