Arsenal returned to Champions League action two weeks ago with a 2-0 victory over Athletic in their opening match, thanks to goals from Martinelli and Trossard. They now look to build on this success as they host Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have had a mixed record against Olympiacos in recent years, with three wins and two draws at home before suffering three consecutive defeats in their last three home games against Greek opposition. This includes two Champions League matches and one Europa League match.
Before their recent struggles, Arsenal had never lost a home game to a Greek team, with six wins and two draws, including three wins against Olympiacos. However, the Gunners suffered a 2-3 defeat to Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium in 2015 and two more losses in 2019 and 2021.
The Greek side's victories in England were marked by dramatic comebacks, with Olympiacos coming from behind to win both times. In 2015, they scored two goals in the second half to overcome Arsenal's initial lead, while in 2021, they scored a goal in the 120th minute to snatch a 2-1 victory.
Arsenal will look to put an end to their losing streak against Olympiacos and secure their second consecutive victory in the 2025/26 Champions League. The Gunners will need to be at their best to overcome the Greek side, who have been a thorn in their side in recent years.
Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, will be looking to his team to build on their recent success and secure a much-needed win against Olympiacos.
