It's game one of two in the Champions League as Olympiakos Piraeus host Neftçi. This is a 2nd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Neftçi have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
