AEK Athens vs FC Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting tips
On the third matchday of the group stage of the Champions League, the German record champions FC Bayern München must play in the Greek capital at the AEK Athens. A few weeks ago, this would have been a mandatory task for Bayern. And on Tuesday? Let’s put it this way: Again. Again, because the Munich after four winless competitive games in a row and the already legendary press conference Bayern bosses on Friday in their Bundesliga match in Wolfsburg could shine again largely and the opponent did not leave a breath of a chance. The bet providers would have been indifferent to the interim low of the Munich for the choice of quotas anyway. In the match of the AEK Athens against Bayern applies according to the betting odds, the German representative as a clear favorite for a tip on the winner.
AEK Athens:
On the scandalous game between PAOK Salonika and AEK Athens on March 12, 1818, when PAOK President Ivan Savvidis stormed the field with a pistol on his belt, most of us can still remember. This 0-0 game, which was subsequently awarded 3-0 to AEK Athens, should have been at the end of last season, largely over the Greek championship. Because in the final bill AEK Athens took the championship crown six points ahead of PAOK. In the current season in the Greek Super League already got several clubs imposed a penalty by the federation and also AEK Athens is one of the victims. Three points were the club deducted because of Fanausschreitungen. But since the biggest competitors on the way to the title defense were penalized, these three counters should not be decisive in the end. The dress rehearsal on the seventh round of the domestic Super League AEK Athens has succeeded in any case. AEK Athens defeated Smyrnis at the end of the second leg, losing the seventh league game and finishing at the bottom of the table.
For AEK Athens it was the fifth threesome in the seventh game in league play. There was also a draw and a defeat in runner-up PAOK. With 13: 3 AEK Athens has a very good goal difference and remained only in the two games that the club could not win without conceding. That means: All five wins in the league brought AEK Athens to zero. However, one must also note that the importance of the Greek league in European comparison is not the highest. As a champion AEK Athens still had two qualifying rounds for the Champions League, but there was able to eliminate among others Celtic Glasgow, the Scottish series champion of recent years. However, AEK Athens remained without a point on the first two matchdays of the group stage. In the 0: 3 at Ajax Amsterdam, the Greeks were hopeless. Against Benfica Lisbon AEK Athens was able to equalize a 0-2 break in surplus initially, but then conceded with the only chance of the guests in the second round conceding to 2: 3 defeat. Especially in the second round, the Greeks were more oppressive with a man and had earned three points. In the match between AEK Athens and Bayern, the odds of betting home wins are more than ten times higher than the odds for betting on the Germans.
FC Bayern Munich :
In the game one after the all-round strike of Bayern bosses Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Uli Hoeneß and Hasan Salihamidzic against all the media, the team itself was under pressure. After four competitive games without a win, of which Bayern lost two, it was time to end this negative run and not lose more ground on leaders Borussia Dortmund. The mission has succeeded. Because at VfL Wolfsburg Bayern won sovereign with 3: 1. An odds ratio of 13: 8 and above all the goal shooting ratio of 11: 1 spoke a clear language. Even from the dismissal of Arjen Robben at the score of 2: 0 and the only six minutes later following the Wolfsburg goal, Bayern were not deterred and placed in a few then even to 3: 1. The man of the day was Robert Lewandowski, who scored the first two goals himself and prepared the third of James. It was definitely a signal from Bayern. To say that it was the final turnaround is probably too early. For a victory against a club like VfL Wolfsburg is not enough, against which Bayern have won eight of the last nine games.
Bayern defender Mats Hummels on the expectations of the upcoming game
The next step will be on Tuesday in Athens, where Bayern are aiming for the next sovereign victory. The Greeks are commonly considered the weakest link in the group and anything but three points would throw the Bayern back. But the Bavarians would not be the Bavarians if they were satisfied with a simple victory – especially in the current situation. On the first matchday of the group stage of the Champions League Bayern were able to win at Benfica Lisbon, before it was on the second match at home against Ajax Amsterdam in the end happy 1-1. Small side note: Three of the four games that Bayern could not win recently, there was in the home arena. The fourth was the away loss at Hertha. It was Bayern’s only defeat in the last thirteen competitive games on the opponent’s place. Bayern were able to win eleven of these last thirteen competitive matches in a foreign and seasonal competition. Not least because beat in the game Bayern in AEK Athens, the odds quite clearly in the direction of a tip on the German record champions.
