The results of matchday 4 of the Champions League groups took Olympiakos a long way from second place, but a hug with third place.

Only Olympiakos can hope for a small miracle to take second place after the results of the fourth day of the Champions League groups. The rojiblancos ‘defeat against Manchester City by 0-1 left Pedro Martins’ team within 3 points, while Porto’s double in the “Velontrom” against Marseille by 0-2 raised the “dragons” to 9 points , two games before the end.

Therefore, the only scenario that sends Olympiakos to second place is the following: Olympiakos’ double in Marseille next week against Marseille combined with Porto’s loss at home to indifferent Manchester City and victory in the last game. against the Dragons with three goal difference. In any other case, Porto advances to the next phase.

On the contrary, Olympiakos is in the arms of the third place that gives entry to the 32 of the Europa League. For that to happen, it is enough for him not to lose the next match at the Velodrome in Marseille.

In case Olympiakos loses in France, then the two teams will equal the 3 points and everything will be judged in the last match, where Marseille will travel to Etihad while Olympiakos will host Porto, who will have already qualified and can chase. only the first place.

If Olympiakos lose to “Velontrom”, it would be good not to lose by more than one goal difference (or lose by one goal difference having scored), to have a possible final draw with the Marseille team.
