Where to Watch Olympiacos vs Real Madrid November 2025

Mansion Sports – The fifth matchday of the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League will feature a compelling encounter between Olympiacos and Real Madrid.

The match is scheduled to take place at Karaiskakis Stadium, with kickoff set for Wednesday, 26 November 2025 at 22:00 local time.

Real Madrid will aim to make history by securing their first-ever away victory against Olympiacos in the Champions League.

The Spanish giants currently sit seventh in the overall standings with nine points from four matches, while Olympiacos occupy the 31st position with two points.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Olympiacos

This Champions League campaign has proven challenging for Olympiacos. From four matches, they have collected two draws and two defeats, placing them 31st in the overall standings.

José Luis Mendilibar’s squad previously drew against FC Pafos and PSV Eindhoven, while suffering losses to Arsenal and Barcelona.

However, Olympiacos approach this fixture with renewed confidence after defeating Atromitos 3-0 at home, bringing their tally to 28 points from 11 domestic league matches and placing them at the top of the Greek Super League with a two-point lead over PAOK.

The team has shown an impressive run of form with four wins from their last five matches in all competitions, remaining unbeaten throughout.

History at home also favors them, as Olympiacos have never lost to Real Madrid in Greece. Of their four meetings in the country, three ended in draws—including the most recent clash in November 2007 which finished 0-0—while the Greek side claimed a 2-1 victory in December 2005.

Olympiacos will again be without Alexandros Paschalakis and Konstantinos Angelakis due to injury, though the rest of the squad remains in strong condition.

Dani Garcia, who is one booking away from suspension, remains an essential figure thanks to his experience facing Real Madrid during his time with multiple La Liga clubs.

Ayoub El Kaabi, who has scored 10 goals from 16 matches, will lead the attack, with Daniel Podence providing support from the wing.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s four previous victories over Olympiacos have all taken place at Santiago Bernabéu, and the team now aims to achieve their first away triumph over the Greek side. This task comes as Xabi Alonso’s squad navigate a period of inconsistent form.

Since their 4-0 win against Valencia in early November, Real Madrid have played three matches across all competitions, resulting in two draws and one defeat.

In La Liga, they drew against Rayo Vallecano and Elche in their two most recent fixtures, yet still maintain a one-point lead over Barcelona at the top of the table.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid secured three wins from their first four matches—defeating Marseille, Kairat Almaty, and Juventus—before falling 0-1 to Liverpool in their latest outing. Their nine-point tally places them seventh in the overall standings.

Several players have been ruled out, including Dani Carvajal (knee), Eder Militao (thigh), and Franco Mastantuono (thigh).

Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger (muscle), Aurelien Tchouameni (hamstring), and David Alaba (muscle) remain under assessment.

Alonso is expected to make changes from the match against Elche, with Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga likely to return.

The team is expected to deploy a 4-3-1-2 formation, featuring Jude Bellingham behind the striking duo of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius, while Trent Alexander-Arnold may also rejoin the lineup.
