Olympiacos and Real Madrid will battle for three points in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday (November 26). The game will be played at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
The home side will be looking to build on the comprehensive 3-0 victory they registered over Atromitos at the same venue in the Greek Super League over the weekend. Ayoub El Kaabi broke the deadlock from the spot in the 37th minute to give them a lead at the break. Mehdi Taremi stepped off the bench to score a late brace.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, made it three games without a win in a 2-2 draw away to Elche in LaLiga. A goalless first half was followed by a goal-laden second half, with Aleix Febas and Alvaro Rodriguez scoring twice to give Elche the lead, while Dean Huijsen and Jude Bellingham equalized on both occasions, respectively.

The stalemate left Olympiacos in 31st spot in the standings with just two points from four games. Real Madrid are seventh on nine points.

Olympiacos vs Real Madrid Prediction
Olympiacos have made a four-game winless start to their UCL campaign this term and have not won any of their last nine UCL group/league phase games (seven losses).
Real Madrid are experiencing the first slump under Xabi Alonso's management and the Santiago Bernabeu outfit are in need of a statement performance here. A failure to win could see them drop out of the top eight and would put Alonso further under the microscope.
The Spanish giants, however, are continental royalty and should have too much firepower for their hosts.
Prediction: Olympiacos 1-3 Real Madrid
