PAOK vs AEK Match Preview

PAOK faces AEK for the 1st round of the Greek Super League playoffs.

The hosts keep struggling on their matches lately and suffered another defeat in the previous round, this time against Panathinaikos by 2-1. They found themselves back in the score early in the game, at the 39th minute and Panathinaikos doubled their lead at the 80th minute. Despite reducing the scoreline, it was too late for them to make a comeback in the game.

This was the 3rd consecutive match for PAOK who remain winless and currently, they are placed 4th in the playoffs with a total of 47 points.

AEK, on the other hand, also comes from a negative result, suffering a 1-0 defeat over Volos after a very bad performance. The team seemed weak both on the attack and defense, so I think Volos deservedly took all three points.

The visitors remain at the 3rd spot of the playoffs, with a total of 48 points, aiming for a European ticket.

Both sides are in very bad shape, considering their recent performances, but still, I think they have plenty of quality to score some goals. However, both team faces defensive gaps and I think BTTS: Yes is a good call here, offered at 2.16 odds with Betshop.
