OLY vs MCI Dream11 Prediction: Manchester City can secure a spot in the last-16 of UEFA Champions League when they play Greek giants Olympiacos, at Karaiskakis Stadium on Wednesday night (IST). Here is everything you may want to know about OLY vs MCI Dream 11 Match Prediction.
City could use the slight diversion from their domestic assignments. It has been nothing short of a disastrous season for Pep Guardiola, whose team has accrued only 12 points from the first 8 league games, already huffing the puffing in the title race. But over in Europe, City have been infallible, winning the first three games to top the group and could clinch a spot in the last-16 with a win here.
But Olympiacos will be a different team altogether here at their own stadium and will look to take advantage of City’s problems, both in offence and defence. A Mourinho-Esque approach should be the go-to-tactics for the home team who need to win this game to stay alive in the Champions League.
Olympiacos vs Manchester City: Champions League fixture
Date & Time: 11:25 PM (IST), 25 November, Wednesday Night
Venue: Karaiskakis Stadium
Recent form:
Olympiacos: Nothing surprising here, or out of context, for Olympiacos are sitting at the top in Super League Greece. They are the record domestic champions and more often than not, get their hands on the title with little to no problems. But Europe is a different curry entirely. They hardly take their domestic dominance into Europe, and that remains the case this season as well, as they struggle to remain alive in the UEFA Champions League.
The Greek giants have three points from first three games, which they earned in the opening game courtesy of a 1-0 home win over Marseille.
Manchester City: Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension recently, but he is under no illusion that his job could come under serious threat even this season. City has to improve. They are already playing the catchup game over in the Premier League, eight points behind the pace already. But as mentioned, they boast a 100% record in the UEFA Champions League.
Head-to-head
The reverse fixture before the international break was the first between these two teams in the UEFA Champions League which City won 3-0.
Olympiacos Wins- 00
Draws– 00
Manchester City Wins– 01
Last meeting: 3-0 win for Manchester City.
