Josep Guardiola, Bayern coach
We know how strong Olympiacos are. They play good football. This game is a bit like a final for us. We can qualify for the next round as the top side in the group [if we win]. They will not allow us much space, especially in front of their goal. Their wingers are very quick and they have some tall players too. We have to take the right decisions and we obviously want to score as early as possible.

Marco Silva, Olympiacos coach
We arrive here with the same feelings that we had when we arrived in London [to face Arsenal on matchday two]. But Bayern are a stronger team than Arsenal – perhaps the strongest team in the world. Bayern were always group favourites but no one would have guessed that we'd be second after four games. We will fight right until the end and try to get something here in Munich.

Reporter's view: Jordan Maciel
A point apiece will seal both sides' qualification for the knockout stage, but don't expect Bayern to take it easy on their opponents given a home win will clinch the group. Olympiacos will fancy their chances of progress, yet will do well to take anything home from Munich.
