Arsenal vs. Olympiacos: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Arsenal vs. Olympiacos: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Arsenal edged ahead in their head-to-head record against Olympiacos with a comfortable 2-0 victory when the two sides clashed on matchday two of the 2025-26 Champions League campaign. 

Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock in the 12th minute of the encounter, and while Arsenal did have plenty of chances to add to the scoring, they were made to wait until the 92nd minute for Bukayo Saka to double their lead.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.


Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 13

Arsenal wins: 7

Draws: 0

Olympiacos wins: 6

Arsenal and Olympiacos' head-to-head record was perfectly split down the middle ahead of their most recent meeting in the 2025-26 Champions League league phase, but a 2-0 victory for the Gunners saw them edge ahead with seven victories to Olympiacos' six. 

Prior to the 2025-26 Champions League league-phase campaign, the Gunners and Thrylos squared off in four UCL group stages and two Europa League knockout ties, both claiming one win apiece in each season.

Arsenal and Olympiacos crossed paths in both the 2020-21 and 2019-20 Europa League campaigns, clashing in the last 16 of the more recent edition as Mikel Arteta led the Gunners to the quarter-finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory.

The North London giants had to survive a second-leg scare that year - going down 1-0 at the Emirates - but a 3-1 first-leg success in Piraeus, capped off by a trademark Mohamed Elneny screamer, proved telling.

Arsenal's 3-2 aggregate win in 2021 saw Arteta take revenge for a last-32 exit in 2020, where the Gunners eked out a 1-0 victory away from home in the first leg before 10 minutes of chaos at the Emirates.

A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bicycle kick would seemingly be enough to send Arsenal through in extra time, but Youssef El-Arabi ghosted in behind the Gunners backline to level the game in the 119th minute, before Aubameyang missed a last-gasp sitter as Arteta's men crashed out on away goals.

Olympiacos also stunned Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates in the 2015-16 Champions League group stage, meaning that the Greek side entered their most recent encounter on an astonishing three-match winning run on the Gunners' turf. 

However, goals from Martinelli and Saka helped Arsenal snap their losing streak in this fixture, with the Gunners running out comfortable 2-0 victors.
