Arsenal vs Olympiacos prediction
The UEFA Champions League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, 01 October 2025 pits Arsenal FC against Olympiakos Piraeus in Ligaphase 2. Arsenal arrive with three points and occupy seventh place in their group after one victory from their opening fixture, having scored two goals and conceded none. Olympiakos Piraeus have opened the campaign with a single point and sit lower in the group standings; they recorded a goalless draw in their first match. The two clubs meet again following a recent history of tightly contested ties, and the fixture bears significance for both sides as they seek to set the tone for the early stages of the group.
Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, will host the match at the Emirates Stadium, where they will look to leverage home advantage and the momentum of a positive start. José Luis Mendilíbar leads Olympiakos into the fixture; his side demonstrated resilience in their opening game and will aim to frustrate the hosts and extract a result in London. The previous direct meeting saw Olympiakos secure a 1:0 away victory, but the overall head-to-head record across the last five meetings slightly favours Arsenal.

Betting Tip 2: Both teams score? No

Olympiakos Piraeus team news!
Olympiakos arrive under coach José Luis Mendilíbar with one point from the group’s opening fixture and an away record in this competition that is likewise not yet established (0 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats away in the group). Olympiakos have shown consistent domestic form, compiling three wins and two draws in their last five matches across competitions, and they remain undefeated in that sequence. Mendilíbar will likely set his side up to be compact and difficult to break down, seeking opportunities to exploit set pieces and transitional moments. The squad’s recent home victory in domestic competition indicates confidence, but playing at the Emirates will be a sterner test.
H2H statistics
The pair have met five times in recent history across all competitions. The head-to-head record for the last five meetings stands at: Arsenal 3 wins, 0 draws, Olympiakos 2 wins. The most recent direct meeting ended in a 1:0 away win for Olympiakos. That result demonstrates that Olympiakos can be competitive in this fixture, but the aggregate H2H balance gives Arsenal a marginal historical advantage.
