Barcelona vs Olympiacos preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
The Champions League returns for Matchday Three of the league phase after a break for the October internationals, with another two nights of Europe's premier club competition in store.
Among this week's fixtures is a clash between La Liga giants Barcelona and Greek side Olympiacos.
The Blaugrana have had the better start of the two clubs as they opened the competition with a 2-1 win at Newcastle but followed that up with a loss to PSG by the same score. Meanwhile, Olympiacos are still searching for the first victory of the 2025-26 league phase, as they've drawn and lost in their two outings thus far.

Where is Barcelona vs Olympiacos being played?
Barcelona vs Olympiacos will take place at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona.

Barcelona vs Olympiacos - the key men
Marcus Rashford - Barcelona
The on-loan attacker has had a good start to life as a Barcelona player, with three goals and four assists in 10 matches across all competitions since joining the club.
Included in his output is a two-goal performance on Matchday One of the league phase, when he led Barca to their win against Newcastle.
Rashford has seen his importance to the club increase in recent days as Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo both picked up recent injuries, putting more pressure on the remaining players to pick up the slack in their absence.

Chiquinho - Olympiacos
The Portuguese attacking midfielder is the straw that stirs the drink for Olympiacos, and he's having himself a great early season for the Greek outfit with four goals and two assists in just six matches in the Super League prior to the international break.
Chiquinho has already reached 50% of his total league production from last season despite playing 22 fewer matches at this point, and while Olympiacos aren't expected to pose much of an attacking threat in Barcelona, the 30-year-old will surely be involved if they are to spring a surprise or two on their hosts.
Barcelona vs Olympiacos prediction
While Barcelona's results heading into the hiatus were not as dominant as we've come to expect, the gulf in class will become readily apparent as this match wears on.
Prediction: Barcelona 4-1 Olympiacos
