Olympiacos are set to host Manchester City at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Wednesday in their next UEFA Champions League group stage game.
Olympiacos come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Panathinaikos on Saturday in the Greek Super League. A first-half goal from Greece international Kostas Fortounis was enough to secure the win for Pedro Martins' Olympiacos.
Manchester City, on the other hand, lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday in the English Premier League. Goals from South Korea international Son Heung-min and Argentine midfielder Giovani Lo Celso secured the victory for Jose Mourinho's side.

Olympiacos vs Manchester City Prediction
Olympiacos sit third in their Champions League group, behind Manchester City and Porto. They have some experienced players in their ranks, including Jose Holebas, Yann M'Vila and Mathieu Valbuena, who can all make a difference in these kinds of matches.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have won all three games in the Champions League this season. Their league form has left much to be desired, and manager Pep Guardiola will hope that their poor form does not transfer to the continental stage.
Manchester City will be the favorites to win the game comfortably, despite being the away side.
Prediction: Olympiacos 0-3 Manchester City
