On Sunday evening we will enjoy in one of the best derbies, a historical, city derby between Panathinaikos and AEK Athens. Both teams are near the top of the table, and both of them are dreaming of winning the league. Both teams are in extremely good form which is why I expect a true spectacle in Athens. Panathinaikos are undefeated in their last 14 matches, while AEK are undefeated in nine consecutive matches. Everything indicates that this will be one of the best matches these teams ever played.

The crisis in the green part of Athens is forgotten long ago, now the dream about the title is revived, the fans are clear that they want the title this season. Since Vitoria took over the club, they are playing with much more confidence and aggression, which is why I expect them to score at least two goals in this match. In the last round they were unlucky when after 2:0 lead over Panserraikos they conceded two goals and failed to win. Last week they played the first match in the National Cup against Olympiakos and drew 1:1 at home, and this is a very important period of the season for the greens. I think that against AEK they will going for a win, to improve their confidence, but also to keep up with AEK and Olympiakos in the table. Panathinaikos are in third place with 36 points.

In the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup, AEK's players were better than PAOK after 210 minutes with an aggregate score of 2:1 and in the semifinals, they await the winner of the duel between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos. In mid-December, AEK won the home quarter-final match with a minimum score of 1:0, and in the return match, PAOK countered in the same way. The Cup is very important for AEK since they aren’t participating in any European competition this season. In the league they are in second place with 37 points. In this match they will be without injured Vida and Callens, and I think that to remain undefeated in this derby is their goal.

Expert Betting Tips
This will be 246th derby between this team and Panathinaikos are more successful with 102 wins, AEK have 70 wins, and 74 matches ended in a draw. However, in their last five matches AEK won three times and Panathinaikos only one. In four of these five matches the result was over three or more goals, which is why I expect more than three goals in this match and both teams to score. According to bookmaker, AEK are a slight favorite, but I think that Panathinaikos are too strong at home and will remain undefeated in the great derby of Athens.
