Olympiacos faces Sparta Prague for a third consecutive Europa League victory

Olympiacos prepares to host Sparta Prague on October 22, 2026, for the third round of the Europa League's league phase. The Greek side, currently ranked 10th in the standings with a 2-0 record, seeks to extend its winning streak to six consecutive matches across all competitions. Manager Imanol Alguacil stressed that while he cannot guarantee a specific result, he expects the team to defend the club's colors with maximum commitment.

Manager Alguacil has announced the match-day squad, which notably excludes the injured Fortounis and Bailey, despite Bailey recently returning to training. Young midfielders Filis and Toufakis have been included in the roster. The team has seen a strong resurgence following their loss to OFI, securing recent wins against Jagiellonia, Levadiakos, Panathinaikos, Marseille, and Panetolikos.

The upcoming fixture is viewed as critical for Olympiacos to solidify its position within the top 24 of the tournament. The match is scheduled to take place at 22:00 local time, as the club continues its efforts to secure a spot in the knockout stages of the competition.
