AEK Athens - statistics & current form

AEK Athens has played a sovereign season so far and moved into the championship round as third in the Super League. At the start of the play-offs, however, the team of head coach Manolo Jiménez suffered two defeats in a row and thus gambled away the good starting position in the race for the international starting positions.

Most serious was the defeat last weekend, where the "Énosis” was literally demonstrated by the Greek record champions from Piraeus. The Athenians conceded a total of five goals, the 1: 5 in the "Spyros Louis" stadium was the biggest defeat at national level since March 2011.

Is the form crisis worsening among the Athenians?

Because the "Énosis" won only one of the last seven competitive games across all competitions, a prognosis for the home side is more than daring at AEK Athens against PAOK Saloniki. In the Super League, Jimenez's team has so far had a record of 6-4-4, in the Greek Cup, however, the Athenians were able to win all home games.

Cup opponents like Smyrnis and Volos, however, did not have the caliber of PAOK, which is why the results in the previous cup rounds should not be overstated. In five of the last six home games, the "Énosis" conceded at least two goals in their own stadium. Any goal against in the upcoming cup game would be fatal, after all, the away goal rule still applies in the Greek Cup.

Free soccer predictions

Jiménez will be able to draw on the full against the league rivals from Saloniki as far as possible. Only Chygrynskyi and Christopoulos have to take a break due to injury. Compared to the starting line-up, which suffered the bitter home defeat against Olympiakos last weekend, no major changes are to be expected.
