Insights:
  • Atromitos have the most conceded goals (33) in Super League
  • AEK Athens have the most scored goals in the first half (18) in Super League

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

The visiting AEK Athens played their last game only four days ago, a Greek Cup match. That game, against PAOK, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for AEK Athens.

Atromitos form and stats

Atromitos's struggle is real here at Stadio Peristeriou with only 7 points collected from 7 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4. When Atromitos hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like PAOK, Panathinaikos and Olympiakos Piraeus), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Atromitos shared the glory with PAS Giannina in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Panaitolikos.

Atromitos has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
