  • Arsenal have won their last five league phase games in the Champions League

  • Olympiakos have scored just one in their last six Champions League games

  • Recommended bet: Arsenal to win to nil

Arsenal came from behind to win 2-1 at Newcastle on Sunday and now step back into Europe to face Olympiakos in the league phase of the Champions League.

The Gunners beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on matchday one, while their visitors from Piraeus failed to break down a Pafos side who had to play with 10 men for 64 minutes.

Olympiakos won 1-0 when they last visited the Emirates in 2021, however, Arsenal were already all but through after winning the opening leg of their Europa League last-16 tie 3-1 and can produce a trademark controlled showing on Wednesday.

Team news

Mikel Arteta may give starts to some of this season's fringe players, with Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Martinelli looking for minutes, as is fit-again captain Martin Odegaard.

Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke are sidelined, as are Roman Yaremchuk and Lorenzo Scipioni for the visitors.

Ex-Wolves winger Daniel Podence should feature from the left side of their attack.

The stats

This will be the 13th meeting between the pair in European competition, with each winning on six occasions.

The duo have clashed four times with Arteta in charge (W2, L2).

Victory on Wednesday would see Arsenal win a sixth consecutive group/league phase game for the first time since between December 2004 and November 2005.

Ayoub El Kaabi has scored 21 goals in 24 appearances in major European competition since joining Olympiakos in 2023.

Prediction

Arsenal's goals at Newcastle may both have been headers, but they were less rigid in their overall approach, often going long from goalkeeper David Raya.

Arteta may ask his players to play from deep more on Wednesday, especially as his opposite number, Jose Luis Mendilibar, is expected to set his side up to sit in and look for chances on the break.

With a relatively quick turnaround against West Ham on Saturday afternoon, Arsenal should aim to conserve energy, even with their forecast changes.

Expect a controlled showing and a comfortable home victory.
