AEK Athens

WWLWWW 📈

AEK Athens are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-1 Super League triumph vs Atromitos.

In that game, AEK Athens had 63% possession and 14 shots at goal with 1 on target. The only player to score for AEK Athens was Steven Zuber (31'). At the other end, Atromitos got 3 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target.

An interesting characteristic of recent AEK Athens games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their prior 6 clashes before this one, in 6 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a losing one.

A look at their previous results shows us that AEK Athens:

• have not won against Olympiacos in their last 15 league matches. That has got to hurt.
• are undefeated in their previous 11 home league matches. A run that they'll hope to extend here.

Olympiacos

WDWWDW 📈

Olympiacos will go into the match after a 6-0 Super League win to defeat Levadiakos in their most recent fixture.

In that game, Olympiacos had 67% possession and 21 shots on goal with 10 on target. For Olympiacos, the scorers were Pep Biel (2', 49'), In-beom Hwang (38'), Cédric Bakambu (58') and Sergi Canós (86', 88'). On the other side, Levadiakos had 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

A run of hard-working showings from the Olympiacos defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 2 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. During the same time, their own forwards have managed to score 17. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, though.

Taking a look at their past results, Olympiacos:

• are undefeated by AEK Athens when they've played them away from home in the last 7 league matches. A very good record, indeed.
• have not been beaten in their last 10 away league matches. Impressive, to say the least.

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the AEK Athens manager Matías Almeyda to contend with due to a largely intact group. Levi García (Tear in the abductor muscle) misses out.

Garry Rodrigues (Unknown Injury), Yann M'Vila (Unknown Injury) and James Rodríguez (Unknown Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
