AEK Athens vs Olympiakos Prediction: What a night in Athens!

After 14 years, Olympiacos once again defeated the biggest opponent AEK in the Cup with 6:0 at their stadium. In March 2011, it was 6:0 in the Greek championship, and last week AEK suffered the same in the Cup. But what's crazy is, all this could hurt much less this Sunday when the same teams meet in the league, only at AEK's stadium. Any victory would launch the black and yellows to the top of the table. It would be easier to sleep, at least for a while. However, the question is how much the team can recover from this disaster in such a short period.

AEK Athens

Form: LWWWW

Two great rivals, the main contenders for the Greek Super League title, are fighting on two fronts. Last week was the first leg of the Greek Cup semi-final, followed by a match at AEK's ground this Sunday for the first place in the league, and the second leg of the Cup semi-final is on April 16 at this same stadium. AEK suffered an unimaginable, heavy defeat 6:0 in Piraeus last week, and today they must perform well and get a positive result in this match to calm the fans and settle down the storm. The league is all they are playing for, I can’t see them overturning a result of 6:0 in the Cup, so I expect AEK to put more than 100% in this duel and to their very best to get all three points against Olympiakos.

Olympiakos

Form: WWWDW

Olympiakos also have a two-point advantage in the championship (54-52), so it could be said that the outcome of the title race will be significantly linked to this two-match cup tie, even though these are different types of matches. Because when the derby is played in Athens, there is always a hellish atmosphere. And who knows how it can affect the rest of the season. The fact is that Olympiakos haven’t lost from October 17th, and the away match against Asteras Tripolis (1:0), so it's a streak of 25 matches in a row in all competitions. Also, Olympiakos have an important match on Thursday in the Europa League against Bodo/Glimt, so it will be interesting to see how they approach this derby.

Expert Betting Tips

So, football fans in Greece, especially in Athens, have something to look forward to. The two teams played in the championship in November, also at Karaiskakis, when Olympiacos won convincingly with a score of 4:1. Before that, at the same venue on May 15, it was 2:0, so the red and whites have a psychological advantage ahead of this match especially after last week’s win 6:0. I think that AEK must find a way to stop Olympiakos from winning, otherwise I think that they will fall into crisis. I expect a spectacular derby at OPAP Arena, and many goals on both sides. I think that this derby will be tough and will end in a draw.
