Olympiacos win again - but Saviola injured ahead of MUFC tie


Olympiacos

Olympiacos claimed yet another domestic victory on Saturday, but their star striker Javier Saviola is a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Manchester United after picking up a thigh injury.

The Athens outfit won 4-0 at OFI Crete as they continue to cruise towards the Greek Super League title.

Kokkinoi have won 24 of their 26 league outings, with two draws. They've now scored 71 goals and conceded only nine.

Striker Saviola, however, is now doubtful for Tuesday's clash having picked up a thigh injury and exited the game prior to the half-time whistle.

Olympiacos have won the Greek title in eight of the last nine seasons and, despite Saviola's possible absense, will be in confident spirits given their their rich vein of form. 

United, however, will still regard their Round of 16 pairing as a favourable one as they head to Greece as relatively comfortable favourites with the bookmakers to qualify for the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition.
