Europa League football will be on the minds of Olympiakos's players when they host Porto in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night. The Greek side are currently third in Group C on three points, ahead of bottom-placed Marseille on goal difference. Their opponents, Porto, are second in the group, their passage to the knockout stage already secured by their 10 points. Olympiakos have not picked up any points since their opening night win over Marseille at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki. The subsequent four matches all ended in defeat with Olympiakos failing to score in three of them. Their last meeting with Porto saw them fall to a 2-0 loss in Portugal. However, Olympiakos will be confident that they can inflict revenge on their turf. The Greek side have an impressive record on home soil, winning six of their last nine UCL games there. If they are to beat a tough Porto team that are undefeated in seven matches, it will be at this venue. 

Porto managed to keep five clean sheets on that run mentioned above, the most recent UCL one coming at home to Manchester City. Sérgio Conceição was proud of his players' ability to frustrate a team with the resources of City. His boys won't roll over in Greece just because there is nothing to gain from a win. Porto are unbeaten in their last three away games in all competitions, not conceding in any. In the UCL, they have won two of their previous three away games with clean sheets. We foresee a close game that is low on goals. Back under 2.5 goals.
