Are both sentences OK?
If we were a little luckier, we could have won the match.
If luck had been on our side, we could have been champions.

Yes, both sentences are correct. 👍
They express a past hypothetical situation (the third conditional).
“If we were a little luckier, we could have won the match.”
Grammatically acceptable in informal English, but many speakers would prefer “If we had been a little luckier…” because the sentence refers clearly to the past.
“If luck had been on our side, we could have been champions.”
This one is a classic third conditional and sounds completely natural.
So both work, but a slightly more standard version of the first sentence would be:
“If we had been a little luckier, we could have won the match.”
Good question! 🙂
