Kairat Almaty take on the side two places above them in the UEFA Champions League standings as Olympiacos come to Kazakhstan on Matchday 6.
Last match
This is the teams' first match and Kairat's first against a Greek club.
Olympiacos' sole previous fixtures against a team from Kazakhstan came in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League group stage, when they beat Astana 4-1 at home before a 1-1 away draw.
Kairat are in the Champions League proper for the first time. Astana, in 2015/16, are the only side from Kazakhstan to feature, drawing four of their six games (L2).
This is only Kairat's third Champions League campaign. They lost in the first qualifying round in 2005/06 and in the second qualifying round in 2021/22.
Kairat's only participation in a UEFA group stage/league phase was in the 2021/22 UEFA Conference League, when they finished bottom of their section (D2 L4).
This is Olympiacos' 21st appearance in the Champions League proper – but a first since 2020/21. That ended in the group stage, for the fifth successive Champions League campaign.
The Greek side lost to Bodø/Glimt in last season's Europa League round of 16, having finished seventh in the league phase.
Key stats
Kairat's 3-2 defeat at Copenhagen on Matchday 5 made it eight European matches without a win (D3 L5).
Aged 17 years 106 days, Dastan Satpayev became the third-youngest player to score in the Champions League proper with his goal in Denmark.
Kairat have lost only one of their six home Champions League fixtures this season (W4 D1), keeping five clean sheets.
The Kazakhstan club have never won a game in a UEFA group stage/league phase (D3 L8) – they are aiming to become the first Kazakhstan club to record a victory in the Champions League proper.
Beaten 3-4 at home by Real Madrid last time out, Olympiacos have won only two of their last 25 games in the Champions League group stage/league phase (D4 L19). They are without a win in ten (D2 L8), since a 1-0 victory at home against Marseille on 21 October 2020.
