Champions League returns and today is the penultimate round of the group stage. Tottenham has 7 points and is essentially safe for advancing to the next stage, but a win today would secure their place in the further rounds. Olympiakos, on the other hand, with one point, still has theoretical chances to fight for 3rd place with Zvezda, but they need wins in the last rounds.
The teams come into the match with completely different moods. Tottenham, with Mourinho's arrival, won the match against West Ham. Meanwhile, due to complicated reconstructions in the Olympiakos team, they lost the leading position in the Greek championship and drew 1-1 against Panionios. The first meeting between these teams ended 2-2, with Tottenham squandering a two-goal lead. Therefore, we believe that similar mistakes will not be repeated today. Tottenham will be without Lloris, Vertonghen, Davies, and Lamela, while Olympiakos will miss Koutris and Cisse.
So, Champions League, 5th round of the group stage. Olympiakos will have to take risks, and we think this will allow Tottenham to score on counterattacks. Tottenham is a much higher quality team and currently has much better momentum. Also, Olympiakos has a match against Greek league leaders PAOK this weekend. We believe that Tottenham with Mourinho will win the second match and do so convincingly in front of their home crowd. Good luck.
