Barcelona look for three points as they host Olympiacos
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona will face a team which is yet to get a point in the group. Olympiacos have so far played two games and lost both games.
After playing out a draw against Atletico Madrid on Saturday in La Liga, barca might be a little disappointed but they will should take heart from the fact that they have 100% record in the Champions League so far this season.
Barcelona are expected to do well against the likes of Olympiacos, so if they drop points on Wednesday, a lot of questions will be raised.
Team news and possible line-ups
Olympiacos have a few injury worries ahead of the Barcelona clash. So manager Takis Lemonis will have to choose accordingly.
El Fardou Ben Nabouhane is doubtful for Wednesday’s clash as due to hip problem. Whereas Karim Ansarifard will be hopeful of leading the line once again for Olympiacos.
