Recent Form & Match Preview
Barcelona began their group campaign with a confident away victory over Newcastle but were handed a defeat by PSG in the second round at home. The Catalans have been prolific in front of goal but have struggled to keep clean sheets — both sides have scored in each of their last five Champions League fixtures.

At home, Barcelona’s attacking form is especially impressive, scoring three or more goals in six of their last eight European home matches. Despite injury concerns in attack, the squad still has the firepower to dominate Olympiacos. Historically, Barcelona has performed exceptionally well against Greek clubs and will look to continue this trend.

Olympiacos, meanwhile, have struggled in the opening rounds — a goalless draw with Pafos followed by an away defeat to Arsenal has left them low on confidence. The Greek side is on a six-game winless streak in the Champions League and has failed to score in its last two matches. Their attack has been ineffective, and they face a tough challenge in Barcelona.

Probable Lineups

• Barcelona: Wojciech Szczęsny, Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dro Fernández, Marcus Rashford, Ferran Torres.

• Olympiacos: Konstantinos Tzolakis, Rodinei, Panagiotis Retsos, Lorenzo Pirola, Francisco Ortega, Santiago Esse, Christos Mouzakitis, Daniel Podence, Chiquinho, Gabriel Strefezza, Ayoub El Kaabi.

Head-to-Head & Match Facts

• Olympiacos have lost their last 11 away group stage matches in the Champions League.

• Barcelona have won all 7 of their European matches against Greek clubs.

• At least 3 goals have been scored in each of Barcelona’s last 7 Champions League fixtures.

Prediction
Barcelona are clear favorites to secure victory at home despite missing some key players. Olympiacos have shown very little attacking threat and have a poor record in away European matches. Betting on “Barcelona to win with a -1.5 handicap” at odds of 1.55 appears to be the logical choice.
