Arsenal vs Olympiacos – Match Preview and Team News1 week ago7 min read999 comments

Arsenal, sitting pretty in second place and riding a wave of eight wins from ten, face a psychological battle more than a footballing one as Olympiacos come to town. The Gunners are in imperious form, with their 2-1 comeback at Newcastle showcasing their title mettle, while their Champions League home record is a fortress—nine clean sheets in their last twelve outings.Yet, a bizarre curse looms: the Greek champions have somehow won on their last three trips to North London, a stat that defies all logic and analytics. Mikel Arteta can welcome back captain Martin Ødegaard and defensive rock William Saliba, but the attack remains hamstrung without Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Noni Madueke.For Olympiacos, domestic dominance hasn't translated to Europe; they're winless after a dire 0-0 draw with 10-man Pafos and carry a dismal record of ten consecutive away losses in the group stage. Still, with late-hero Chiquinho and European marksman Ayoub El Kaabi leading the line, they'll believe they can channel the spirit of past upsets.It’s a classic clash of cold, hard form against a stubborn, almost mystical hoodoo. Tune in on TNT Sports 1 to see if Arsenal’s quality can finally exercise these demons.
