Football journalist, an expert gave a prognosis for the matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League between Olympiakos and Manchester City.
As expected, City disappointed in the game against Tottenham, played below par and lost. Tottenham played a great game, won and top the standings.
City’s problems are visible to the naked eye. To be fair, I am surprised that Guardiola’s contract was literally renewed on the eve of the Spurs game. From the outside, it looks like Guardiola has already done all he can with this team, and something needs to be changed. Maybe a trainer.
There is no easy way in the actions of the team – which we are used to, City do not demonstrate. Somehow, not everything is very good, despite the presence of great players on the team. Of course, the busy schedule also affected.
As for Olympiakos, they are a decent team with a good coach. She didn’t concede any but at home, including the Champions League game against Marseille. I don’t think City will be so easy here.

I’ll tell you a little story that will flow smoothly into the bet. Olympiakos, a player named El Arabi. Just over a year ago, he was 32 years old and he was planning to end his career in Qatar. Even the Qatari club did not sign a new contract with him, he became a free agent. Olympiakos have decided to lengthen their bench, to sign the Moroccan. If you remember, Olympiacos were caught by Krasnodar in the last Champions League qualifier – in the first game the Greeks won 4-0, and in the return leg Krasnodar scored an early goal, but, surprisingly, El Arabi entered the starting lineup, and scored and took the team to the Champions League.
You can imagine – he didn’t have a footballer that nobody needed, and now he’s become the hero of a new team, brought him to the Champions League. UEFA then recognized him as the best player of the match, I spoke to him after the match about it, he was beaming with happiness. I asked about his dream, to which he replied that he wanted to play against an English club. By draw, Olympiacos had to play against Tottenham and scored a but in London. Then Olympiakos took third place, went to the Europa League, where they were caught by Arsenal. His winning goal in London led Olympiakos to the next round. Then the team came to Wolverhampton, where he also scored. Bet El Arabi will excel in the game against City. Why not? Miracles happen, dreams come true, so anything can be possible here.
In the first game of these teams, Olympiakos looked pretty decent. Yes the city scored a but early but after that they weren’t shown much. “Olympiacos” looked pretty solid, something in front of him succeeded, from behind all looking organized and knowledgeable. But then Guardiola took advantage of the fact that five substitutions had to be made in the Champions League, refreshed the team, and the two substitutes scored two goals at the very end of the game.
On this basis, the bet is that Olympiakos will not lose in the first 30 minutes. Everything can be in the second half, maybe Guardiola will do the same round and release new players. However, another bet is the victory of Olympiakos with a handicap (+1.5) for 2.02 in 1xBet. It seems to me that this is a chance.
