Real Madrid return to Champions League action on Wednesday evening against Olympiacos. The Greek champions’ European campaign is already hanging by a thread as they are still searching for their first win of the league phase. Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side have collected just two points from their opening four fixtures, leaving them 31st in the overall standings and facing another daunting assignment as they welcome Real Madrid to Piraeus.
Despite their struggles on the continental stage, Olympiacos arrive in strong domestic form. A comfortable 3-0 win over Atromitos at the weekend strengthened their position at the top of the Greek Super League. Encouragingly for home supporters, their record against Madrid in Greece is excellent; Los Blancos have never beaten Olympiacos on Greek soil, with three draws and one memorable 2-1 win.

Real Madrid remain one of the competition’s strongest sides, sitting seventh in the Champions League table with nine points from four matches. Their only slip came away at Liverpool in a narrow 1-0 defeat. But they had taken maximum points before that, defeating Marseille, Kairat Almaty and Juventus. However, Madrid’s momentum has slowed down recently.
Xabi Alonso’s men are winless in their last three matches across all competitions, drawing with Rayo Vallecano and Elche in La Liga after a convincing 4-0 victory over Valencia earlier in November. They remain top of the Spanish table, but their recent wobble has raised questions. With a rich history behind the fixture, Wednesday’s clash promises plenty of action.

Under 3.5 Goals looks a sensible play given how both teams have approached recent matches. Olympiacos’ last four out of five games have all finished with three goals or fewer. Real Madrid’s last four out of six matches have also stayed under this line. With Olympiacos typically more compact at home and Madrid struggling to find attacking rhythm away, another low-scoring affair look likely.
Vinicius Junior to score anytime offers good. Despite recent tension with manager Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian is expected to return to the starting XI. He has already produced 5 goals and 4 assists in 13 La Liga games this season, and even though he has yet to score in the Champions League, he continues to generate chances with his pace and direct runs.

| Picks | Moneyline |

| Kylian Mbappe to score first | +220 |
| Jude Bellingham to assist | +320 |
| Vinicius Junior to either score or assist | -105 |
| Arda Guler to assist | +220 |
With qualification stakes rising and criticism building around Alonso, this trip carries more pressure than usual. Even without their best form, Madrid’s European pedigree makes them heavy favourites here against Olympiacos.
Final Prediction: Olympiacos 1-2 Real Madrid
The Olympiacos vs Real Madrid clash is on November 26, 2025, at Karaiskakis Stadium.
Real Madrid are favorites to win with a moneyline at -250, to draw at +400 and for Olympiacos to win at +600.

Jude Bellingham to assist: +320
