Olympiacos recorded three wins out of the three matches played in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League this season. These victories extended the Red and Whites' impressive run in European competitions.
The 1-0 victory over Sparta Prague at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium thanks to new signing Armando 'Hormiga' Gonzalez's strike helped Olympiacos reach six consecutive European wins. Three came in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League last season, and those were followed this year in the Europa League's league phase.

A report by Sport24.grreveals that the run began on December 9, 2025, when Thrylos defeated Kairat Almaty away from home. They followed that win with a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in Piraeus, then edged Ajax 2-1.
Apart from the six wins in a row in European competitions, Olympiacos extended their Europa League league phase winning run to a remarkable 10 consecutive matches. The streak began on October 3, 2024, with a 3-0 thrashing of SC Braga. It was succeeded with 1-0 win over Malmo FF, and then Greek giants drew the next three games against Rangers, FCSB and Twente. However, in 2025, they recorded two straight victories over Porto (1-0) and Qarabag (3-0).
With nine points from three matches played in the Europa League this season, Olympiacos currently sit fifth in the league standings. They are above Royal Union Saint-Gilloise, who occupy sixth place with seven points. The Greeks have only four goals and conceded once till now in the tournament, and this puts them with a goal difference of 3 in the standings. Therefore, they are last ranked team amongst the nine-point zone.
In the Super League Greece, Olympiacos defeated eternal rivals Panathinaikos recently and overtook PAOK to remain within touching distance of the league leaders. Their next match against Kalamata could prove to be key in provisionally sealing the top spot.
