It has been a mixed start to the season for Barcelona. After an exemplary August and September, October has proven to be a stifling month for Hansi Flick's side. A defeat against an injury-stricken PSG was a real disappointment, and they followed that up with a 4-1 loss in La Liga to Sevilla. While they did return to winning ways over the weekend, it took a 90+3rd minute goal from Ronald Araújo to rescue all three points against Girona.
The good news for Tuesday's clash against Olympiacos is that Lamine Yamal will be available. However, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Gavi, and Ferran Torres all remain injured, giving the away side a glimmer of hope.
For Olympiacos, this is little more than a free hit. They have drawn with Pafos and lost to Arsenal in their opening UCL games, and they face no sterner test than this match-up. Still, prolific striker Ayoub El Kaabi is a player worth watching, having netted 66 goals since his arrival at the club in 2023. He will fancy testing Flick's renowned high line with support arriving from Daniel Podence and Gelson Martins.
