AEK vs PAOK Match Preview

AEK host PAOK for the 9th round of the Greek Super League playoffs.

AEK took a great victory last Sunday night, when they prevailed 3-1 over Panathinaikos at OAKA and with this result, they kept alive their hopes for the 2nd position which leads to the next season's Champions League qualifiers. They took the lead just before the halftime, something very important for the match. It the second half, they controlled the rhythm having more fresh legs than their opponent, and at the added time they secured the three points, scoring from the penalty spot. 

After this victory AEK reached 68 points, being 3 points away from PAOK, after CAS's decision to revert their point deduction.

PAOK also comes from a great victory, as they prevailed 1-0 in Faliro over champions Olympiacos. They had a great performance, however, Olympiakos was really mediocre in this game. A late goal at the 90th minute was the winner for PAOK who took all three points, ending the undefeated streak of Olympiakos.

After they have reversed the points deducted, PAOK reached the 2nd position of the table, having a total of 71 points, 3 points more than their current opponent AEK, being the big favorites to maintain their spot and play in next season's Champions League qualifiers.

Both teams had great performances lately and this match will be decisive for the 2nd spot of the Greek Super League. AEK has a better run in the playoffs till now, but considering PAOK's latest result, this match seems a really close one. Both teams will look for an early goal in the game and with the quality they have on their offensive lines, It is very likely to see some goals from both sides.
