Arsenal vs Olympiacos Predictions: 01.10.2025 - Champions League Betting Tips

Arsenal vs Olympiacos

Arsenal head into the Champions League riding a high after beating Newcastle last weekend in the final minute. Next up: Olympiacos - a side that failed to beat Cypriot outfit - and 10 man - Pafos at home in round one.

Nathan Joyes explains why it should be a comfortable evening for Mikel Arteta's side. Read on to catch his match preview and best bet.

Gunning for three points

Having lost just one of their eight matches this campaign, Arteta's side are looking strong. A 2-0 away win against Athletic Bilbao got them off to the perfect start in the Champions League, and now they have the perfect chance to extend that against Olympiacos.

They head into this fixture on the back of a last gasp 2-1 win away to Newcastle - and no doubt the squad is absolutely buzzing. Add in their one point against Man City at home - also won in the last minute - and it has been a very strong period for the Gunners.

Arteta's side are in a good moment - and priced heavily odds-on - it will be a surprise if the hosts don't record a big win in front of their fans on Tuesday evening.

Long night ahead

Olympiacos hosted Pafos - Champions League debutants - and even when the visitors had a man sent off, the Greek giants were unable to beat them much to their fans frustration.

Drawing 0-0 with Pafos doesn't bode well for their trip to the Emirates, and although they've bounced back to form a little with two domestic victories, this is a huge task, and their seven match unbeaten run is likely to come to an end.

Arsenal will need to be wary of Santiago Hezze in the middle of the park, while Daniel Podence and Ayoub El Kaabi will be their two threats going forward.

Arsenal vs Olympiacos H2H

These sides last faced against each other back in the Europa League in 2021. In the round of 16 draw, Arsenal won the first leg in Piraeus 3-1, before Olympiacos delivered a shock 1-0 win in the Emirates.

Both matches were played behind closed doors due to the outspread of Covid.

Our Arsenal vs Olympiacos betting tip

With the hosts in fine form, Nathan Joyes expects Arteta's side to record a comfortable win at the Emirates. Let's dive in to his best bet.

Game of the round pending

Arsenal have looked sharp this season. And although they have secured some big points in the Premier League of late, Arteta will also be taking the Champions League just as serious.

Their opening day win over Athletic Bilbao was very impressive, delivering a top professional performance on their travels. Now back at the Emirates for the first time this season in this competition - coming off the back of a 2-1 win vs Newcastle - the crowd, and team, will be buzzing.

Olympiacos are not a side expected to pull up any trees in this competition, and their 0-0 draw with Pafos perhaps highlighted exactly that. This match is certainly a bridge too far.

With the upcoming international break around the corner, Arteta will be putting out his strongest XI, and another professional performance looks to be on offer.

Arsenal's price is extremely short - but you can get a decent price for them to keep yet another clean sheet - which is what I'll be putting up for this match. Good luck if you're following.
