Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkusen: Preview
Olympiacos will fancy their chances of lightning striking twice after their recent league-phase win over Leverkusen.
Goals from Costinha and Mehdi Taremi helped see off the Bundesliga side as their late surge earned them a place in the Champions League play-offs.
That revival began with a narrow 1–0 win away to Kairat Almaty and concluded with a 2-1 success over Ajax on the final matchday, a run that lifted the Greek side to 18th place.
This is the first time they have reached Champions League knockout rounds since 2013-14 and will be hoping for a big first-leg win to aid their chances of progression.

Leverkusen have had a crazy 12 months with manager and player exits aplenty.
The fact that they have reached this stage is a testament to their professional durability, and they come into this one off the back of a big 4-0 win against St Pauli at the weekend.
In terms of team news, Eliesse Ben Seghir (ankle), Mark Flekken (knee) and Nathan Tella (foot) are all set to miss out.
Patrik Schick is expected to lead the line once again after finding the net in the win over St Pauli.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Olympiacos 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen
A draw in Greece will leave this tie nicely poised ahead of the second leg.
