Champions League Group D Table
| Pos | Team | W-D-L | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Barcelona | 2-0-0 | 4 | 6 |
| 2 | Sporting CP | 1-0-1 | 0 | 3 |

Preview
With a 3-0 drubbing of Juventus and a 1-0 road win against Sporting, Barcelona is in complete control of Group D. And a win against Olympiakos, who has already lost to each of those squads (3-2 to Sporting, 2-0 to Juventus), would only move them further in front.
Of course, there’s some history here, as Barca manager Ernesto Valverde has had previous managing stints with the Greek side.
“I don’t know why the Olympiacos fans like me so much,” he said. “But we did win a lot of trophies. The feeling is mutual because the Greek people always treated me very well. I say that because I left a large part of my heart there.”
The oddsmakers peg Barcelona as a -1250 favorite, making them the biggest favorite of all of this week’s Champions League matches. Ultimately, any result other than Barca leaving home with three points would be a major shock.
