It's really unbelievable how AEK Athens, from a title contender, became the worst team in the Championship group in Greece. They had everything in their hands, they were only competing in the league and yet lost all four matches so far in the playoffs, two of which were against the new champion Olympiakos. However, with a win in this and in the duel against PAOK in Thessaloniki in the last round, AEK Athens can dream of reaching second place and qualify for the Champions League. It will be extremely difficult considering their current form, confidence, and inability to compete with the best teams in the league. In the last 10 matches in the league, they have 4 wins, 5 defeats, and a draw, and since the playoffs started, they are the biggest disappointment in the league with four heavy defeats.
AEK Athens: Lineup
Several important players will miss this duel due to a suspension or injury. However, I expect AEK to play in their standard formation, 4-2-3-1, even though it hasn't brought them too many positive results so far. It's expected that Almeyda will seek more intensity from his players, like they had in the match against Olympiakos, but it's obvious now that they lack confidence. Of course, Martial and Ljubicic's absence will affect the team a lot, and Almeyda will have a difficult challenge to pick 11 ready players for this derby.
🔖 AEK Athens starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Brignoli – Gacinovic, Mitoglou, Vida, Odubajo– Mantalos, Szymanski– Koita, Jonsson, Lamela– Pierrot
⛔️ Out: Angelopoulos, Callens, Ljubicic (all injured), Martial and Moukoudi(suspension)
👤 Head coach: Matias Almeyda

Panathinaikos: form and statistics
Panathinaikos are in 2nd place, but their performances in the previous round against PAOK were terrible, and under any level of the Championship Group. It's hard to believe that this team will remain second if they shoot only once at the opponent's goal as they did in the previous match. Panathinaikos failed to impress and play in good form throughout the whole season, and it might come back at them in this period. On the other hand, they are favored to keep the 2nd place, as they are already there and because they have a better score in head-to-head duels against PAOK. In the playoffs, they have two wins and two defeats. Both defeats were in away matches, and winning at home, and it's something that can be very significant in this duel.
Panathinaikos: Lineup
Rui Vitoria, like his colleague on the opposing team, will have many issues in composing the starting lineup. Several injured players are important for the first team, and the only good news is the comeback of Mladenovic after he was suspended in the previous round. Vitoria rarely changes his formation, so Panathinaikos should play in their well-known 4-3-3 formation. I don't expect them to attack or be aggressive from the start, a draw in this duel might be good for them, but it's a derby, and the stakes are huge.
🔖 Panathinaikos starting lineup (4-3-3)
Dragowski– Vagiannidis, Jedvaj, Ingason, Limnios– Ounahi, Siopis, Maksimovic– Pellistri, Swiderski, Djuricic
⛔️ Out:Bakasetas, Fikaj, Kotsiras, Nikas, Schenkeveld (all injured)
👤 Head coach: Rui Vitoria

AEK Athens vs Panathinaikos match prediction 04 May 2025
Both teams come into this match after suffering defeats in the last round. Both of them are underperforming in the Championship Group, especially AEK Athens, with four defeats. The importance of the points from this duel is priceless for both teams, and I expect great fight for every ball and inch of the field. The home stadium is a great advantage in duels between AEK Athens and Panathinaikos, but I think that Panathinaikos can withstand the pressure and can get at least a point in the yellow part of Athens.
