AEK Athens form and stats
This stadium, OPEL ARENA, has been a fortress for AEK Athens in the Super League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-0-1. After failing to beat Volos NFC here at OPEL ARENA, AEK Athens has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
The followers are hoping that Athens will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against PAS Giannina (placed 10th). This team enjoyed a eleven league fixtures long consecutive run without a loss before that game! Sidibé was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.63 out of 10.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Volos NFC and winning 4-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

It should be taken into account that a look at the 10 most recent league matches shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).
