Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The Thrylos have only defeated Los Blancos once in their eight meetings.

Olympiacos are all set to battle it out against Real Madrid for their round 5 league phase fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This is going to be an interesting outing, which will take place at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.

The Thrylos are doing well in the Super League Greece, but the same cannot be said for their performances in the European competition. They have played four games but are yet to secure their first win in the ongoing campaign. Olympiacos will be at home, and they must use it to their advantage in the upcoming game.

The Xabi Alonso-led Real Madrid have extended their winless run to three. They were recently held to a draw against Elche in their LaLiga outing.

They lost to Liverpool in their previous UEFA Champions League fixture after a poor performance. Los Blancos need to put in some better efforts if they want to secure three important points here.

Players to Watch

Ayoub El Kaabi (Olympiacos)

Ayoub El Kaabi will be looking to step up his game to help his side on the attacking front. He is one of the main men in the attacking front for Olympiacos and is going to have a big responsibility on his shoulders. The 32-year-old has only scored a single goal in the Champions League this season.

Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

The English midfielder scored a crucial equaliser for Real Madrid in their previous fixture, which helped them secure a draw. He is good at regulating the ball well in the midfield and plays a significant part in the final third. With the ball at his feet, Jude Bellingham is going to be a problem for the opponents.
