The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on AEK Athens to win. Let's see if Atromitos are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 5 games found revealing 1 Atromitos win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 14 league games, 12 have produced zero, one or two goals.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Atromitos as they have a new game in only four days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Panathinaikos are visiting.
