Olympiacos - Sparta Prague

Thursday, 22 October 2026, marks the arrival of matchday 3 in the Europa League as Olympiacos host Sparta Prague at Karaiskakis Stadium. The home side enters this contest in excellent form, having secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Marseille in their most recent European outing. With the expected XI led by Armando Gonzalez and Jota Silva, Olympiacos will look to maintain their momentum despite the notable absence of Konstantinos Fortounis due to injury.

Sparta Prague travel to Greece following a 1-1 draw with Lillestroem in their last continental fixture. While they have enjoyed domestic success, the visitors must navigate this challenge without Loic Mbe Soh and Matej Rynes. With Jakub Surovcik expected to start in goal, Sparta Prague will aim to disrupt the rhythm of an Olympiacos side that has demonstrated defensive resilience throughout their recent run of competitive matches.
