AEK Athens form and stats

As mentioned below, AEK Athens are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Super League games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis after three straight home wins.

Athens enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Volos NFC's place. The match ended 3-1 with Steven Zuber, Karim Ansarifard and Ehsan Hajisafi scoring.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Atromitos.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Athens have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won zero times, drawn two and lost three.

Athens can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 7 times. Athens have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 0 goals.

Impressive finishing from Facundo Bertoglio, Daniel Sundgren, Bruno Gama, Aboubakar Kamara and Badou Ndiaye secured the home win 5-1 against Panaitolikos in their previous game. As you can tell from the results above, Aris was very dominant against Panaitolikos, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Facundo Bertoglio, Daniel Sundgren, Bruno Gama, Aboubakar Kamara and Badou Ndiaye providing the goals.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Lamia with the score of 1-0.
