MAN CITY vs OLYMPIAKOS MATCH ANALYSIS
Man City expectedly opened their Champions League campaign with two wins, a home win against Porto (3-1) in the first round and a comfortable 0-3 win in Marseille. With the win on Tuesday they would confirm the role of the favourites they had been given for obvious reasons before the competition even started, and cement at the top the group C. As for Olympiakos, they won in the stoppage time at home against City’s Tuesday’s rivals in their group opener, but were defeated by Porto in the 2nd round which pushed them to 3rd place in the group, above Marseille, who are yet to pick up their first points.
Despite their mixed record of 4 defeats in their 9 opening Champions League group games since 2011, City started the new CL campaign on the front foot. They made a winning start to their 10th attempt at winning the Champions League after fighting back to beat Porto after the Portuguese champions took a surprise early lead and continued their perfect start to the Champions League group stage with a comfortable victory at Marseille.
The injury woes in their attack prompted manager Pep Guardiola to experiment against Marseille with winger Torres handed a central attacking role on his first start in the Champions League for the club, with Phil Foden and Sterling on either side.The experiment paid off, the trio providing an energy in attack that the five-man Marseille defence struggled to deal with.We might see the same starting XI on Tuesday, with City being the firm favourites.
Olympiakos, on the other hand, are underdogs in their group and will look to prove a point in the Champions League this year. They are unbeaten this season in the Greek Super League and top the table after first five matches, but will face several uphill battles in Europe over the next few months. The Greek giants returned to the Champions League with a surprising win after late substitute Ahmed Hassan scored in stoppage-time against Marseille in an otherwise uneventful match.
However, they were put in their place against Porto in their next match. Fabio Vieira scored early and Sergio Oliveira struck late in the game as Porto beat the Greek side 2-0 in the Champions League last Tuesday. They travel to England next, which is not where they should look to pick up points as they have a terrible record in this competition when away to England.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
