Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest will continue their pre-season slate with a clash at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday.
So far, Forest have played two friendly matches, suffering a 1-0 defeat against Elche at the end of a demanding pre-season tour of Spain in extreme heat. They then returned home to play to a goalless draw against Villarreal.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, will be looking to build on their historic 2023-24 season, which saw them win the Europa Conference League. That success was a famous end to an otherwise underwhelming year, but it established the groundwork for Jose Luis Mendilibar to try to assemble a side capable of clinching back the Super League title.
