Manchester City vs Olympiacos Predictions

• Olympiakos have lost 14 of their last 16 trips to England
• The visitors have conceded 2.9 goals per game in recent Champions League clashes in England
• City have won 3-1 and 3-0 in their group games so far
• Olympiakos have conceded 11 times in their last four Champions League group stage trips

City to cruise through

Pep Guardiola won his two previous UEFA Champions League matches against Olympiakos, winning 3-0 away and 4-0 at home as Bayern Munich manager in the 2015/16 group stages. A repeat of that with Man City would leave them on the brink of the last 16.

The bookies have made the Greeks the rank outsiders here, which makes sense given their previous visits to these shores. Olympiakos have lost 14 of their 16 away major UEFA European matches in England. They’ve shipped 29 goals across their last 10 Champions League games against Premier League opposition.

They should fear this City attack, which has scored three times in both of their group games so far. While City have looked a little off the boil in the Premier League, they’ve dispatched their European opponents with ease so far. In theory, they now face their easiest game of the group.

Olympiakos have shipped 11 goals across their last four Champions League group games on the road, so our predictions back a comfortable win for City. We’re backing over 2.5 team goals for the hosts, with a 3-0 win our correct score prediction.
