Published January 28, 2026, 07:28

Olympiacos will play their third and final match in the League Phase of the Champions League, facing Ajax in Amsterdam (22:00). A win will guarantee qualification for the knockout stages, while a draw will keep them in a good position but will also depend on other results. Olympiacos is in good spirits after two consecutive victories (Kairat, Leverkusen) and a win in the league against Volos. Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar cannot count on Yaremchuk due to injury, but all other players are available. Ajax, for their part, will play offensively as they need a big win to hope for qualification. The Amsterdam team has returned to form but is facing absences. The match is expected to be exciting, with Olympiacos having the advantage of good morale and effectiveness, while Ajax will try to impose their rhythm and take advantage of their home ground.
