The Greek side will be aiming for a repeat of the league match between the teams, when Olympaicos claimed a 2-0 victory in Athens.
Olympiacos became the first ever Greek team to win a UEFA club competition with success in the Conference League in 2023-24 and are now looking to eclipse their best ever Champions League season – a run to the semi-finals in 1998-99.
José Luis Mendilibar’s team are currently second in the Greek Super League, two points behind leaders AEK Athens.
