AEK Athens FC vs PAOK Prediction & Betting tips
The regular season in the Greek House of Lords ended two weeks ago, so the teams in the Super League were divided into the championship and relegation playoffs. In the championship round, AEK Athens and PAOK Saloniki will also be represented, who will meet this week in the semi-finals of the Greek Cup. When it comes to the latest form curve of the “Enosis”, PAOK Saloniki has the edge in this semi-final pairing. AEK Athens is currently in a form crisis, in the last seven competitive games, the capital club only won one victory.
AEK Athens:
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 Jimenez 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 “Enosis” 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.
At the start of the championship round, AEK Athens already lost the away game at PAOK Saloniki. Against the black and whites there is now the chance to take revenge in the “Kypello Elladas”, as the Greek cup is called. The semi-final first leg is on Wednesday evening, where AEK benefits from the home advantage in the Spyros Louis.
PAOK Saloniki:
As in the previous season, PAOK Saloniki lagged behind the great expectations in the championship race of the current season and could not stand up to the record champions from Piraeus again. Even before the championship play-offs, it was clear that Olympiakos would win the Super League title this season as well.
The black and whites from Saloniki, however, are still fighting for an international right to start in the championship round. After a successful start, PAOK lost to Panathiniakos last week, which reduced their lead over the shamrocks from Athens to one point.
Before the exciting battle for the two places in the table behind the leaders from Piraeus continues, PAOK Saloniki will face the semi-final first leg in the Greek Cup. Two-headed eagles from northern Greece are guests at AEK Athens.
