With their 12 point advantage in the league table, AEK Athens fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Panionios.
Panionios could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Greek Cup game only three sleeps ago.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
