The only previous meeting, a 2-0 away win for Olympiakos in July 2024, gives the Greek side a perfect head-to-head record and a 2.00 goals-per-game average against NEC Nijmegen, while the Dutch club have yet to score in this matchup. Venue-wise, Olympiakos now bring that positive experience into a home setting at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, although no prior head-to-head data exists for this stadium specifically. With both teams starting from a clean slate in the 2026 Champions League season, history marginally favours Olympiakos Piraeus, but the small sample size means this qualifier remains open enough for NEC Nijmegen to try to reshape the narrative.
