Manchester City vs Olympiacos Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Manchester City will be aiming for a third consecutive European win on Tuesday when they welcome Olympiakos to the Etihad for a Group C game in the Champions League. City put three goals past both Porto and Marseille in their previous two outings, leaving them top of the table going into matchday three. Olympiakos opened their group account with a 1-0 home win over Marseille before falling to defeat on a trip to Porto. These mixed fortunes leave them third in the group. Given their poor away record this season, it seems unlikely that the Greek side will add to their solitary point in England. Olympiakos only managed to win one of their last five away fixtures in all competitions, one of which was a 1-0 defeat away to Wolves. It was their 19th defeat in 34 games against English opposition. City are not anywhere near as experienced as Olympiakos when it comes to taking on compatriots of their opponents. They have only played two previous fixtures against Greek opposition, both against Aris Thessaloniki.

City are unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions. Their home form is improving after a shaky spell that saw them lose two in three matches, entering this game on a run of two consecutive wins on their own turf. City are unbeaten in nine home UCL matches, winning eight times. While City have been far from their best this season, they are a class above their opponents and should be able to swat them aside in a comfortable victory. We suggest backing City to win with a minus-two handicap.
