Barcelona and Olympiacos will battle for three points in a UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday (October 21st). The game will be the early kick-off of the day.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a last-gasp 2-1 home win over Girona in La Liga over the weekend. They went ahead through Pedri's well-taken 13th-minute strike but Axel Witsel equalized with a spectacular bicycle kick seven minutes later. The game was seemingly destined to finish in a stalemate but late second-half substitute Ronald Araujo was on hand to score the match-winner in injury time.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 away win over AEL Larissa in the Greek Super League. Ayoub El Kaabi scored a first-half brace, breaking the deadlock in the second minute and doubling their lead from the spot to guarantee the win.

The Red-Whites will shift their focus to the continent, having began their UCL campaign with a 2-0 defeat away to Arsenal. Barcelona fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to PSG.


Barcelona vs Olympiacos Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • The two sides were drawn in Group D of the 2017-18 UCL campaign. Barcelona claimed a 3-1 home win and drew 0-0 in Greece.
  • Ten of Barcelona's 11 competitive games this season have produced three goals or more.
  • Olympiacos are aiming to become the first Greek side to win in Spain (17 losses, four draws).
  • Barcelona have scored 2+ goals in 11 of their last 13 home games in the UCL.
  • Olympiacos have never won a European away game against Spanish opposition, losing 14 of 16 games (two draws).
  • Barcelona have won all seven home games against Greek opposition.

Barcelona vs Olympiacos Prediction

Barcelona started October on a poor note, losing their first two games of the month before their victory over Girona. The Catalans are scheduled for a long-awaited return to Camp Nou for this game pending approval from the regulatory agencies.

Olympiacos have a tough task ahead as they aim to end a wretched run of results in away European games. The Piraeus outfit have lost their last 11 away games in the UCL league/group phase, conceding at least two goals on each occasion.

We expect the home side to claim all three points with a comfortable win and clean sheet.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Olympiacos
