AEK Athens form and stats

AEK Athens have played 5 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Athens against Apollon Smirnis the last match, as Levi García, Karim Ansarifard (2) and Nelson Oliveira were on target. Heartbreak before that as AEK Athens lost 0-2 at Leicester City's place.

A goal frenzy last time out for AEK Athens, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Apollon Smirnis. Fun stuff to watch! Manager M. Carrera felt very clever after Nelson Oliveira scored the winning goal against Apollon Smirnis, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 68th minute.

Impressively, the visitors are on a seven-match winning run which they hope continue versus AEK Athens. Olympiakos have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Two travels in a row for Olympiakos, whose manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins could celebrate last time after the Super League win against Lamia. A loss against Porto was the result prior to that, in a Champions League home game.
