Olympiacos Endure Third Consecutive Goalless Match After 16 Years

Published February 19, 2026, 09:31

Olympiacos is experiencing a negative streak, having completed three consecutive matches without scoring, something that hasn't happened in 16 years, specifically since the 2009-2010 season. The streak began with a 1-0 defeat in the derby against Panathinaikos, continued with a 0-0 draw against Levadeiakos, and culminated in a 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs. The defeat against Leverkusen makes qualifying for the next phase of the Champions League extremely difficult, as the 'Reds' will have to overturn the result in the return match in Germany. The last time Olympiacos failed to score in three consecutive games was in the 2009-10 season, against PAOK (twice) and Aris. The Piraeus team is now called upon to react immediately and pursue an upset at the 'BAYArena', knowing that the challenge is great, but not insurmountable. Returning to scoring goals is a priority for the team in order to maintain its hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
