Champions League continues today with another two great matches at 19:45 GMT. Greek champions Olympiakos will host the match against French champions Bordeaux while Stuttgart will host the match against Barcelona.

Olympiakos is coming to this match as slight underdogs despite the home advantage. The Greek champions are not in a good shape although they are just 2 points behind the leaders Panathinaikos in the Greek Championship. Olympiakos managed to progress in the first knock-out stage after they finished second in their group behind Arsenal.
On the other hand, Bordeaux managed to win the ticket for the first knock-out stage after finishing in the first spot of their group leaving behind Bayern Munich and Juventus. The French champions currently are leading the French championship standings with a three point’s margin from the second team and with a game at hand.

Olympiakos will not have the services of three key players as Dudu, Galletti and Diogo will all be out due to injury problems. The Greek champions are in desperate need to produce a good display of high level performance which will give them the advantage for the second leg game in a couple of weeks. The home advantage is a huge factor as the stadium will be packed by 35.000 people pilling up the pressure towards the French team.

On the other hand, Bordeaux is facing this match with outmost respect for Olympiakos as they have requested – and given – a week off in order to rest and prepare better for this match. Loran Blanc will not have the services of Diarra but other than that he is not facing any major problems.

It is certain that this will be a close match as Olympiakos will have the home advantage plus the motivation to play well in order to secure a good result while Bordeaux had a full week to rest but they have to come up with the fact of their defense weakness.

The most secure bet prediction is to bet on the less than 2.5 goals(1.55) as the match is open to all the scores from 0-0(7.00), 1-0(6.00), 0-1(5.75) and 1-1(5.50). If you would like to risk a little, then a good choice is to bet on the Draw.
