This match has been long awaited by fans of both sides, as it's the first Super League game of the season. Both AEK Athens and Xanthi are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. This match was also played here at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Xanthi have had more rest. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Trabzonspor.
