Arsenal will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Champions League when they take on Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Gunners saw off Athletic Club in an impressive late show two weeks ago and come into the game here off the back of an even better smash and grab at the death away to Newcastle United in the Premier League, so confidence should be sky high in Mikel Arteta's squad.
The Greek giants only got a point from their opener against Pathos and are rank outsiders (18/1 on AK Bets) for this one but have started the domestic campaign in typically strong fashion and will hope to make it a contest at the very least.

Arsenal vs. Olympiacos: Form Guide & Predictions
Despite the record between the clubs being a surprising six wins apiece from their 12 games, the Gunners should really have no unlucky no.13 here. A comfortable win and hopefully a goal or two for striker Viktor Gyokeres will be Arteta's aim - the first of those things should really happen.
