Olympiacos faces Marseille in Europa League match at Stade Velodrome

On October 15, 2026, Olympiacos will face Marseille at the Stade Velodrome in the second round of the Europa League phase. The Greek side, currently 13th in the standings, enters the match with momentum following a domestic victory against Panathinaikos and an opening Europa League win against Jagiellonia. Conversely, the French hosts, managed by Genesio, sit in 32nd place and are seeking recovery after a challenging start to their season, which included five consecutive losses before a recent 2-0 win over Troyes.

Manager Imanol Alguacil is expected to rotate his squad to maintain energy levels, noting the match will likely offer more open space compared to domestic fixtures. Key players such as Ortega, Retsos, Pirola, Freuler, Puerta, and Chiquinho are in contention to start, though Ayoub El Kaabi is sidelined due to injury. Roman Yaremchuk is the primary candidate to lead the attack. French authorities have denied entry to Olympiacos fans, meaning the match will proceed without the support of the 3,500 traveling supporters who were initially expected to attend.
