A hostile atmosphere awaits Pafos in Athens on Wednesday when the Cypriot minnow will make its Champions League debut on the road to Greek giant Olympiacos. Despite only making its first appearance in any European competition last year, Pafos is set to announce itself on the continent’s grandest stage.
And there aren’t many more intimidating debut settings one could envision for Juan Carlos Carcedo’s side than a Week 2 visit to the Karaiskakis Stadium. Relations between Greece and Cyprus are very friendly by and large, but that doesn’t mean the home fans in Piraeus will be interested in letting their guests off lightly.
Former Arsenal and PSG assistant coach Carcedo has led Pafos on a path of discovery in the last couple of seasons, securing its first cup and league titles since his arrival in 2023. Likewise, however, Olympiacos enters this matchup having won its domestic division last term, not to mention winning the Greek Cup as well.
Summer signing Mehdi Taremi was a super sub for Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side on Saturday after scoring twice off the bench in a 5-0 win over Panserraikos and could start here. And his input in attack may not go astray with Roman Yaremchuk sidelined and Gelson Martins a doubt to be fit in time.
