AEK Athens receive Olympiakos Piraeus for another absorbing Super League match here at OPEL ARENA.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

A Super League draw at home so far for AEK Athens. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 18 matches.

Before that result, a home loss in the Champions League against Antwerp.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the AEK Athens at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats
655 minutes! That's how long the Olympiakos Piraeus goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Kaabi, Masouras and Fortounis scored in Olympiakos's previous match, the home game against Lamia that ended 4-0. As you can tell from the results above, Olympiakos Piraeus was very dominant against Lamia, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Kaabi, Masouras and Fortounis providing the goals. Which player has beaten the opponent goalie three games in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Masouras and that is solid stuff! Midfielder Fortounis was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 10.0. Fortounis scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, signed up for two assists, hit seven key passes and had 65 successful passes (of 79 total).
Earlier, the Europa League victory away at Cukaricki. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olympiakos Piraeus playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Olympiakos Piraeus wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
A new game in only four days for Olympiakos Piraeus, the Europa League home match versus SC Freiburg. Busy days.
