Our prediction for the match Porto vs Olympiacos
Last season, “the Dragons” were left without a title in the Primeira for the second time in a row, moreover, they were noticeably weaker than both Benfica and Sporting. Still, they partially compensated for the failure by winning the Portuguese Cup, which was the last success of Sergio Conceição as a coach here. “The Legend” was also only in 3rd place in Greece, but won the Conference League (the first international trophy).
The Portuguese club is not particularly shining in the Europa League. Playing on the native field, the team beat Hoffenheim and Midtjylland, drew with Manchester United and Anderlecht. On the other hand, it lost at the away arena to both Bodø/Glimt and Lazio. The Greeks started with a loss to Lyon. Then they beat Braga and Malmö. And they shared points in the confrontations with Rangers, FCSB and Twente.
Mendilibar’s footballers are also pretty good at the inner arena. They are leading the championship and have fought it out with Panathinaikos in the national cup. Vitor Fernandes and his wards are in the midst of a battle for the leadership in the Primeira. As for the League Cup, the team was knocked out in the semi-finals by Sporting.
