Arsenal vs Olympiakos Piraeus

Arsenal have won their opening two UEFA Champions League games in a campaign for the first time since 2013-14, and for the first time without conceding since 2007-08.

Olympiakos have lost each of their last 11 away games in the UEFA Champions League, with only three teams ever having a longer run (Dinamo Zagreb 13, Spartak Moscow 12, Crvena Zvezda 12).

None of the 13 meetings between Arsenal and Olympiakos in all competitions have been drawn, with Arsenal winning seven to Olympiakos’ six. This was the first home win between the sides since December 2012 (Olympiakos 2-1).

This will be the 13th time Arsenal and Olympiakos have faced each other in European competition, with none of the previous 12 ending in a stalemate and both sides winning six games apiece.

Arsenal have faced Olympiakos on four occasions during Mikel Arteta’s reign as manager (W2 L2); only facing PSV (6) more often in European competition. The Greeks eliminated them from the UEFA Europa League in 2019-20 (last 32), before the Gunners eliminated Olympiakos from the same competition the following season (last 16).

Olympiakos have won two of their last three away games against English sides (L1); one of those being against Arsenal at the Emirates (1-0 in March 2021), along with a 4-2 win at Aston Villa in May 2024. This is as many victories as the Greek side managed in their first 17 away games versus English opponents in major European competition (W2 L15).

Arsenal have won each of their last five games in the group/league phase of the UEFA Champions League, their longest such run since winning six in a row between December 2004 and November 2005.

Olympiakos have only scored one goal in their last six UEFA Champions League matches (D1 L5), despite attempting 51 shots across those outings and hitting the target 11 times.
