Olympiacos is set to face Bayer Leverkusen at Karaiskakis Stadium for their Champions League play-off tonight.
The Greek team hopes to replicate their earlier league match, where Olympiacos won 2-0 in Athens.
Having made history as the first Greek team to win a UEFA club competition in the 2023-24 Conference League, Olympiacos aims to surpass their best Champions League achievement, reaching the semi-finals in 1998-99.
Led by José Luis Mendilibar, the team is currently in second place in the Greek Super League, just two points behind AEK Athens.
