"Barça come into this one in desperate need of a win to return to contention for a Top 8 spot in the standings after a heartbreaking loss to PSG last month that has the Blaugrana in one of the Playoff spots before the start of Matchday 3. Avoiding the Playoff and the extra two matches it brings is an absolute must in what is already a crazy calendar, so Barça cannot afford to drop any more points in the six remaining League Phase matches."
"And they will be big favorites to pick up all three points on Tuesday: Olympiacos are off to a slow start so far, with only one point from the first two games without a single goal and a total of 6 shots on target combined in the opening two matches. They lost 2-0 to Arsenal in London last time out, but should have lost by a lot more on a night where the Gunners dominated and had a ton of chances"
FC Barcelona host Olympiacos at the Montjuïc Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, needing a victory to stay in the top eight fight and avoid the extra Playoff matches. Barcelona sit 16th with three points in the League Phase after a costly loss to PSG and a late La Liga win away. Multiple key players are out or doubtful, including Marc-André ter Stegen, Gavi, Lewandowski and Raphinha. Olympiacos have one point, no goals and six shots on target from two games, having lost 2-0 to Arsenal. Broad TV and streaming coverage is available internationally.
