One of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixtures will take place on Greek shores, where Olympiacos and Leverkusen will clash at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. The League Phase hasn't exactly gone swimmingly for the hosts, but all is not lost, with José Luis Mendilibar's men sitting on five points after six games, which may not sound amazing, but let's face it, they're only two points shy of the all-important top 24. Win this home game and they'll have a massive chance of making the knockouts with only one round of games to go.

For the visitors, this is a big game. Right now, the Germans are inside the top 24, but their position isn't overly secure. The Leverkusen boys have a modest nine points to their name, which should be enough, but if they lose here and other results go against them, the final round of League Phase games could be a nervy experience. Fortunately, they've arguably been at their best on the road in this competition, so Kasper Hjulmand's men should fancy themselves to get a positive result.

Our Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Given what we've seen from young Ibrahim Maza in a Leverkusen shirt this season, odds of -110 rate as a less than accurate reflection of his chances of testing the home keeper. Maza is no stranger to getting into promising shooting positions, while he doesn't exactly hesitate when it comes to pulling the trigger, averaging 2.35 shots per 90 minutes. 

Maza hit the target last time out in this competition, while he was in hot shooting form for Algeria at the recently concluded African Cup of Nations too. 

Our Olympiacos vs Leverkusen Pick: Ibrahim Maza 1+ Shots on Target.
