Across two recorded meetings, Olympiakos Piraeus lead the head-to-head with one win and one draw, and a 2–0 aggregate goal advantage, largely due to their 2–0 away success in the 2024 friendly. However, the only Champions League encounter between the sides ended 0–0 in Piraeus, showing NEC Nijmegen can compete defensively against this opponent on a major stage.

Overall, the NEC Nijmegen vs Olympiakos Piraeus stats point to a low-scoring rivalry so far, with NEC Nijmegen yet to find the net in this fixture and both teams posting clean sheets in the current European campaign. Olympiakos Piraeus carry the stronger historical edge and proven ability to win on Dutch soil from the friendly meeting, while NEC Nijmegen can draw confidence from containing Olympiakos Piraeus away from home in the first leg. The trends suggest a tight, tactical contest at Goffertstadion, where small margins in both boxes are likely to decide which club advances.
