Silva plays down Olympiacos’ trip to Zagreb.

It’s UEFA Champions League Matchday 3 LIVE on SBS

The group stage of the world’s premier club competition, the UEFA Champions League, continues in October and you can watch DINAMO ZAGREB v OLYMPIACOS LIVE on SBS in HD and streamed online.

The Greek side is level with Zagreb on three points in Group F after each side beat Arsenal and suffered defeats to Bayern Munich.

Dinamo’s loss at the hands of the German champion was its first since November of last year and it faces another tough task against an Olympiacos side that has won seven from seven in the Greek Super League.

The fixture has traditionally favoured the home team. Dinamo and Olympiacos have met on four occasions in European competition and the last meeting not to be won by the hosts was a 1-1 draw in the 1998-1999 group stage.

That result secured Olympiacos’ first and only quarter-final berth in Europe’s premier club competition and Silva would not be drawn on whether this clash will decide how far his side goes in this season’s tournament.

“The most crucial game for me is not in Zagreb, but the last game if there is qualification. I cannot say that a match will judge our European path” Silva said.

Zoran Mamic’s men are aiming to secure qualification from the group stage for the first time in Dinamo’s history.

And Mamic is in upbeat mood ahead of Olympiacos’ visit to the Stadion Maksimir.

“Luckily we have the quality and the individuals who can turn a match and they have shown that [in Saturday’s game],” Mamic said.

“There was a lot goals, and this is a good invitation for everyone to come together on Tuesday to take down one of the greats.”

Olympiacos has a host of injury problems heading into the game, with veteran midfielder Esteban Cambiasso unavailable because of a left ankle injury.

Attacking midfielder David Fuster will also miss out due to a right calf problem, while Andreas Bouchalakis and Giannis Maniatis (ankle) will not feature.

Midfielder Domagoj Pavicic (foot) and Gordon Schildenfeld (thigh) are out for Dinamo as it attempts to put breathing space between itself and Olympiacos ahead of the reverse fixture next month.
