The Greek team is in the worst situation in Group E. They have already lost two games at home. In the third one to come at home, against Ajax, they cannot possibly hope get any benefit as well.

However, it would be a very important game for the Dutch team. It is not only a battle for the first place, but also for a place in the next stage of this competition. Following which, they visit Benfica and that game could be a stumbling block for them.

Benfica must play on all or nothing in that match. A victory in the Netherlands would give hope to the Portuguese for a favourable result. However, realistically a draw is the best that they could accomplish.

Bayern have been disappointing for their fans at the beginning of the season, but this team still wins. They have a great schedule in the remaining three rounds. They are hosts in two games, which they can win. So, the duel in Amsterdam in the last round will be decisive for the winner of this group.

The third place is guaranteed for Benfica and the fourth for AEK Athens.
