Tottenham begin their 2019/20 Champions League campaign with an away game at Olympiakos. They reached the final last season but will hope for a smoother passage through the group stages than last time. It needed a draw at Barcelona and Inter not beating PSV at home to get them into the knock-out stages. This season they are up against Bayern Munich, Red Star Belgrade and their opponents in this game, Olympiakos. Spurs had made a slow start to their Premier League season but had an excellent result at the weekend. They beat Crystal Palace 4-0 at home and their only loss this season has been at home to Newcastle United. Last season saw them win at Borussia Dortmund and Ajax in the Champions League.

Olympiakos are top of the Greek league with maximum points from their three games. They last made it through to the knock-out stages of the Champions League in the 2013/14 season. Three qualifying rounds had to be negotiated to reach these group stages, with all three home matches being won. Before that they had only won one of their last five home Champions League matches. This is a tough task for them and their main target in this group is going to be to secure third place and go into the Europa League. Go for a Tottenham away win in this match.
