Prague: Arsenal keeper Petr Cech said on Wednesday he expected a “play-off” Champions League game against Olympiacos on December 9 as the two teams vie for a spot in the knockout phase.
“It will be like a play-off game because the head-to-head counts and we have things to catch up with,” Cech said on his website, as third-placed Arsenal trail the Greek side by three points in Group F with one match to play.
“We lost 2-3 at home and the maths are easy,” added the 33-year-old helmet-wearing Czech Republic keeper, who had joined Arsenal from Chelsea before this season.
“They can even lose under some circumstances while we have to win by two goals. It won’t be easy but I believe we’ll be able to handle it well and advance.”
