Nijmegen and Olympiacos meet in the second leg of their Champions League third qualifying-round tie after a goalless draw in Greece. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Dutch side produced a disciplined defensive display in the first meeting and will now look to make home advantage count. Summer signing Dusan Tadic is widely expected to make his first start after an encouraging cameo off the bench, adding creativity and experience to the hosts' attack. Koki Ogawa is still expected to miss out through injury.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, failed to hit top gear in the first leg and know they will need a much-improved performance to progress. Defender Panagiotis Retsos is a major doubt after picking up a knock, with Zinedin Smajlovic ready to deputize if needed, while Gelson Martins is pushing for a place in the starting lineup. The Greek champions have built their recent success on defensive solidity, conceding just 0.7 goals per game across their last ten matches. Another tight affair is expected, but Olympiacos' experience at this level could ultimately make the difference.
As Olympiacos have greater European experience and quality in key moments, but NEC are tough to beat at home and proved their worth in the first leg. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Draw, alongside Half-Time Draw and BTTS.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 18:30.
