Champions League
Historically, Real Madrid have dominated this matchup. Across their eight previous meetings, Real Madrid have won four times, Olympiacos once, with the remaining three ending in draws.
Olympiacos team overview
Olympiacos enter this game under pressure: they have yet to win in this season’s Champions League group stage, holding a record of 0 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Both home fixtures have ended level - a 0-0 draw against Pafos FC and a 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven - results that still leave Olympiacos with a realistic chance of reaching the playoffs. Domestically, however, they are in strong form. They have won five of their last six matches in all competitions and are currently enjoying a five-game winning streak in the Greek Super League.
This contrast highlights a team capable of dominating domestically but still struggling to translate that success onto the European stage.

Real Madrid team overview
Real Madrid arrive in Piraeus in a strong position: they currently have 9 points from 4 group matches, placing them near the top of their group. Their efficiency in Europe is reflected in their solid results - three wins from a possible four - and their ability to grind out narrow victories when necessary, such as the 1-0 win against Juventus and the 2-1 triumph over Olympique Marseille. A slender 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield is the only offensive setback Xabi Alonso’s men have experienced so far, while a 5-0 demolition of Kairat Almaty served as a reminder of how potent Real’s attack can be.
They are expected to be aggressive and create quality chances while maintaining a structured defensive shape. However, the fact that three of Real’s four Champions League matches have averaged fewer than 2.0 goals per game suggests this may not turn into a high-scoring contest on Wednesday.

Prediction
From a statistical standpoint, Real Madrid should be slight favourites. Their superior record in this fixture, combined with their ability to control possession and generate high-quality opportunities, gives them a clear edge. Olympiacos, meanwhile, are capable of producing moments of brilliance at home - particularly given their recent domestic run of five straight wins - but their European inconsistency remains a concern.
Excluding outliers for both sides - Olympiacos’s 6-1 loss to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid’s 5-0 win over Kairat - this shapes up to be a relatively moderate contest in terms of goals.
Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals Total.
Three reasons we expect Under 3.5 Goals
- The last two of Real Madrid’s fixtures in the Champions League have seen an average of 1.0 goals scored per game.
- Both of Olympiacos’ home fixtures in the Champions League have produced under 2.5 goals.
- Under 2.5 goals have also landed in two of Real Madrid’s last three La Liga away matches.
