Olympiacos v Porto Betting Tips [9 December 2020]

Olympiakos will be eyeing a berth in the UEFA Europa League knockouts as they prepare to welcome the already-qualified Porto in a Group ‘C’ UEFA Champions League fixture. Olympiakos are second in the group standings with ten points and three behind leaders Manchester City who are guaranteed to finish first. Olympiakos are third in the standings with three points, which is the same as bottom-placed Marseille although ahead of them on head-to-head differential.

Olympiakos will finish third in the group as long as Marseille do not pick up more points than they do in this match – thanks to Olympiakos’ head-to-head away goals superiority. Porto are already through to the round of 16 as runners-up of the group and this match is an inconsequential group finale for them.

Olympiakos started their Champions League campaign with a 1-0 win over Marseille but have slid to five straight losses since then. Three of those losses have come with a scoring blank. That includes a 2-0 loss away at Porto, but Olympiakos have hope from their historic record against Porto. Olympiakos have won each of their three home Champions League matches against Porto which is their best 100% home record against any side in the competition.

Porto had a losing start to their Champions League campaign when they fell to a 3-1 loss at Manchester City. However, they immediately got into track with a four-match unbeaten run. That included three straight wins and a goalless draw against City in their previous round. Interestingly, Porto have been at their defensive best in those matches keeping a clean sheet in all those four. However, Porto have been up and down with their away form in the competition winning only two of their last five such matches, losing the remaining three.
