Arsenal vs Olympiacos: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Arsenal are back in Champions League action as they host a familiar foe in Olympiacos.

It was a positive start to the league phase of the competition for the Gunners, who were quick off the mark with a 2-0 win away to Athletic Club.

They remain unbeaten since, and could make it five games without a loss should they down the 48-time champions of Greece.

Olympiacos won a domestic double last season, clinching both the Greek Super League and the Greek Cup, but did not impress on the continent, crashing out of the Europa League in the round of 16.

A goalless draw with Cypriot side Pafos marked a similarly underwhelming start to this year’s European endeavours.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Olympiacos is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off today, Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos prediction

Olympiacos are an ever-present side in European competition, but there is little to suggest they will cause Arsenal many headaches at the Emirates.

Hosting the minnows Pafos last time out - who were down to ten men from the 26th minute - Olympiacos mustered just three shots on target and squandered two ‘big chances’.

To create so little against a Champions League debutant despite having a spare man, and fail to finish what few chances did come would not fill one with confidence.

Playing away at the Emirates will surely prove too tall an ask.

Arsenal to win, 4-0
