📈 Arsenal v Olympiacos Form & Tactics
Arsenal claimed a crucial 2-1 victory over Newcastle in the dying minutes last time out, which is a result that will give Arteta’s side a huge lift. Arsenal are obviously chasing the Premier League title, having finished 2nd in each of the last three seasons, but they’ve also got a decent chance in this competition - particularly with their defensive setup which could prove invaluable in the away ties when we reach the knockout stage.
Arsenal showed a bit more energy and enthusiasm against Newcastle than they have in their other games so far this season. I walked away from their 1-1 draw with Manchester City thinking that Arsenal could have won that game if they had been a bit more bold, and Arteta did do this in fairness with Eberechi Eze operating in a central role, which allowed Arsenal to carry a much greater attacking threat in the game.
Olympiacos will be slightly disappointed with their opening game result. They would have expected to beat Pafos anyway, but when the Cypriot side went down to 10 men, there was a real expectation for the Greek side to claim all three points, but Pafos managed to hold them to a 0-0 draw.
Domestically, Olympiacos have won four of their five matches so far this season. They’ve scored 13 goals across those games and only conceded three, though the Champions League is a massive step up in quality from this standard. They’ll sit in a low block here and look to take their opportunities on the break, which are expected to be limited.
📔 Arsenal v Olympiacos Formation & Team News
Arsenal
Arsenal are tactically fluid, Arteta has spent quite a lot of time trying to perfect rotations and certain movements. They line up in a 4-3-3 on paper, but this quickly becomes difficult to pin down with Calafiori venturing into central areas and the final third as an example of Arsenal’s patterns.
Arsenal are missing Piero Hincapie, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus to injury, but this isn’t really a big issue for Artet,a seeing as he’s been without Havertz and Jesus for a while and has appropriate cover for Madueke and Hincapie in Calafiori and Saka.
Olympiacos
Olympiacos usually line up in 4-2-3-1, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them switch to a back five here as they look to limit the damage that Arsenal can cause. They can be quite stubborn, but it would take a mammoth performance from the Greek side to take something from North London, so damage control may be the priority for Jose Luis Mendilibar, who has previous European experience, having led this side to the Conference League trophy a few seasons ago.
