Trabzonspor vs AEK Athens FC Prediction & Betting tips
This knockout duel in the play-off games of the Europa League is definitely tough. Turkey and Greece is already a duel with much explosiveness because of the history. 100 years ago, for example, the Greek-Turkish War prevailed. Although there is no rivalry between the two teams, it is not just a question of progress, but also of prestige.
In the first leg, the guests from Turkey were able to assert themselves quite surprisingly and are probably already in the group stage with one and a half legs. For the second leg look the bookmakers Trabzonspor against AEK Athens according to current quotas as a clear favorite.
The result from the first leg last Thursday has left an impression. With three away goals, the ticket for the group stage is almost guaranteed. The Greeks need a little miracle to make the seemingly impossible possible. Before the return match between Trabzonspor and AEK Athens for the tip on the advancement of the Greeks double-digit betting odds offered. The start of the game in the Medical Park Stadium is on Thursday at 18:30.
Trabzonspor:
Six, five, four – this is not a countdown that counts backwards. This shows the endplacements of Trabzonspor in the last three years in the Turkish Süperlig. By finishing fourth in the past season, head coach Ünal Karaman’s side have secured their return to Europe.
The club from Trabzon played last autumn in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. As unseated team in qualifying succeeded in the third round, the first surprise. Against the higher rated Sparta Prague, the Turks with a total score of 4: 3 (2: 2 draw, 2: 1 home win) prevail surprisingly.
In the domestic Süperlig only two games have been completed and it collected Trabzonspor four counters. After a draw at Kasimpasa, Malatyaspor’s home game of the season saw them win 2-1 at home last weekend. Striking in the results so far is that there was at least one goal and one goal in each game.
Between Trabzonspor and AEK Athens quite lucrative odds are offered for this forecast. Trabzonspor wrote headlines this week, however, not only because of the results, but also through the commitment of Daniel Sturridge. The Champions League winner came on a free transfer and definitely represents a big reinforcement. There is another well-known newcomer to the former Schalke Donis Avdijaj.
AEK Athens:
The Greek giants AEK Athens are considered to be extremely strong at home and as a result the result seven days ago could be rated as a big surprise. The last home defeat with two goals difference dated from the November 2018, when AEK Athens had beaten 0-2 in the Champions League Ajax Amsterdam.
Rather than Champions League, the team is unlikely to see any international football in the fall this season. For the second leg in Turkey AEK Athens will be coached by assistant coach Nikolaos Panagiotaras. After only four competitive matches, the Portuguese Miguel Cardoso was fired.
After the defeat on Thursday against Trabzonspor there was the league kickoff namely another bust in front of home crowd against Skoda Xanthi. Then the ripcord was pulled and the misunderstanding ended. For the “Mission Impossible” is now the former assistant coach available.
The big question will be: does AEK Athens still believe that the miracle can succeed? The Greeks are likely to press the tempo from the start and try to force an early goal. With every minute of play without hits, hope will fade. It is quite possible that with the continuation of the game the hope of disappointment gives way and the Greeks give up.
We would not want to shake hands that AEK Athens will end this game with eleven players. In unfavorable gameplay a dismissal would be no surprise. Quite understandable are therefore between Trabzonspor and AEK Athens the low odds on the home win.
