Prediction
Pep Guardiola’s men have a tremendous record in the Champions League over the past four seasons as they have reached at least the semi-finals of the competition in the last four terms, reaching the final twice and winning the tournament in the 2012-13 campaign.
Both have met just twice in their histories, which have both come in the Champions League. Bayern have won both meetings, claiming a 3:0 victory in their clash in 1980 at Munich and a 4:2 win in the reverse fixture in Greece.
Olympiakos have won their last six home games in the Champions League.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Bayern’s last 5 games in the Champions League while Olympiakos have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches in the Champions League.
