Porto aim to get their Champions League campaign back on track this Tuesday when they host Olympiakos at Estádio Do Dragão. The hosts lost their Group C opener 3-1 at Manchester City last week. It was a game that was filled with controversy, Porto complaining that the hosts had a raft of contentious decisions go their way. Olympiakos had no complaints on matchday one, a late winner by Ahmed Hassan securing a 1-0 victory over Marseille. The clubs have met six times before in Europe, Olympiakos winning three, Porto two, and the other ending in a draw. Porto will present more of a problem to the Greek side than Marseille did. The Portuguese champions bounced back from that midweek setback with a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente in domestic action. Olympiakos's victory over Marseille was the latest triumph in an eight-game unbeaten run. However, they have been far from impressive in their recent away outings, failing to win three of their last four games on the road. In the Champions League, they are winless in their last four away matches. Porto, meanwhile, have won seven of their last eight games in all competitions. In the Champions League, they lost their last two home matches (vs Liverpool and Krasnodar respectively) but won the previous four.

Porto have failed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four home matches. That could be a problem against a team that has scored in four of their last six Champions League fixtures. However, Porto, who have scored in every competitive home game since losing to Liverpool in February 2018, look a good bet to score more. We suggest backing the home team to win.
