AEK Athens FC vs Atromitos Match Preview

For the 8th matchday of the Greek Super League, AEK welcomes Atromitos.

Impressive performance of AEK last week away at Aris, they prevailed very easily with 2-0. A score that is very poor based on what they did and the many great opportunities they created, but they were satisfied with one goal in each half to get the three points.

This was the 3rd consecutive win for AEK in the league which brought them to the 3rd place in the standings with 15 points, 2 less than the 2nd Volos – who have one match more – and 6 less than the first Panathinaikos.
The latest results – combined with good performances – and their new stadium have sparked the enthusiasm of the fans and another sold out is expected today at the OPAP Arena.

A return to success for Atromitos, after the defeat by Olympiakos, as last Monday they prevailed in Peristeri of PAS Ioannina with 2-1. Their performance was problematic in the first hour of the match, unable to threaten offensively, but as if they woke up when they were behind in the score in the 63' and with two goals in the 75' and in the 86' they completed the turnaround.

This was the 3rd victory of Atromitos in the league which raised them to 6th place with 11 points and with the way it came it also gives them a psychological boost in view of the next games.

AEK come from victories with good performances showing that this period is in excellent condition. Atromitos, for their part, got a big boost with last week's victory and go into the match without stress and whatever comes out. AEK have a lot of quality offensively, but the visitors may also help to see a match with a beautiful spectacle and many goals. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.80.
