Team News

Olympiacos
Bayern
  • Omar Elabdellaoui and Vasilis Torosidis are in competition for a starting spot at right-back for the home side.
  • Mohamed Camara played well last time out in the Champions League and could keep his place ahead of Guilherme.
  • Yassine Benzia is suspended after being sent off last time out, with Mathieu Valbuena expected to start.
  • Niklas Süle suffered a serious knee injury in the first half of Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with Augsburg at the weekend and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
  • Leon Goretzka and Lucas Hernandez are back available after injury for the away side, but Jann-Fiete Arp is still sidelined.
  • Jerome Boateng has dropped completely down the pecking order under Niko Kovac and Bayern may even go with Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez at centre-back in midweek.
  • With Joshua Kimmich expected to be required at right-back, Kovac will have to make a change in central midfield. Thiago will be partnered by either Goretzka or Corentin Tolisso.
  • Ivan Perisic is an option for the flanks. His return to the starting XI would push Serge Gnabry over to the right and drop Kingsley Coman to the bench.
  • Thomas Muller may have to settle for another place on the bench, with Philippe Coutinho preferred in the No.10 role.

Prediction

  • Olympiacos have only lost one game all season and that was last time out in the Champions League to FK Crvena Zvezda. They drew 2-2 at home to Tottenham in their last home game in the competition.
  • Bayern Munich are in a good position in Group B after starting the campaign with successive wins, including a 7-2 hammering away to Tottenham.
  • Bayern have actually failed to win their last two matches, which suggests they are not at their best. That gives the home side a chance but Bayern are expected to come through with another three points here.
