"Real Madrid visit Olympiacos tonight with rumours of discontent continuing to swirl around the club."
"The 2-2 draw at Elche on Sunday was their second in succession in La Liga and third game without a win following the 1-0 Champions League defeat at Liverpool prior to the international break."
"Inevitably that has led to a raft of conspiracy theories in the Madrid press about potential issues in the dressing room and there is no doubt boss Xabi Alonso could do with a resounding win tonight to quell the noise."
"Olympiacos are unbeaten in six games in all competitions but struggled the last time they played a Spanish heavyweight, losing 6-1 at Barcelona in October."

Olympiacos enter the match unbeaten in six games across all competitions but suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat to Barcelona when last facing a major Spanish side in October.
