Olympiacos: Match postponement due to Europe on the table

Olympiacos is considering the possibility of requesting the postponement of one of its upcoming matches in the Stoiximan Super League, due to its particularly demanding schedule in Greece and Europe.

For now, however, no final decision has been made. The "red and whites" are evaluating all data, with Imanol Alguacil having a decisive say in the final choice.

The three games under consideration

Olympiacos is the only Greek team still competing in European competitions that has not yet exercised its right to postpone a league match.

Three matches are on the table. The first is the away game against Aris on November 29, which follows just three days after the match against Milan in the Europa League.

The home derby against AEK on December 5 is also being considered. This particular game is scheduled between the Cup match against Panathinaikos on December 2 and the away European challenge against Celje on the 10th of the month.

The third case concerns the derby against Panathinaikos at OAKA for the 19th matchday, as two days earlier Olympiacos will have faced Torreense in Portugal.

The derby against AEK stands out

Of the games under consideration, the one against AEK seems to have the highest probability for a possible postponement request. The Piraeus team will be coming from the Cup derby against Panathinaikos and will have the trip to Slovenia ahead of them.

This case, however, presents difficulties for AEK as well, which already has the match against Atromitos pending. In any case, Olympiacos has not yet reached a conclusion and the decision is expected to be made after consultation with the technical leadership.

Olympiacos' schedule until the end of 2026

• November 22: Olympiacos – Iraklis, Super League
• November 26: Olympiacos – Milan, Europa League
• November 29: Aris – Olympiacos, Super League
• December 2: Olympiacos – Panathinaikos, Greek Cup
• December 5: Olympiacos – AEK, Super League
• December 10: Celje – Olympiacos, Europa League
• December 13: Atromitos – Olympiacos, Super League
• December 20: Olympiacos – Panaitolikos, Super League

The dense calendar and the importance of the matches force Olympiacos to carefully consider all its options before deciding if and in which game it will use its right to postpone.
