AEK Athens vs. Ajax Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

AEK Athens vs. Ajax

AEK Athens and Ajax aim to recover from recent domestic losses as they clash at the OPAP Arena in the Europa League group stage this Thursday.

The home team currently leads Group B following a victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in their first game, while the visiting side engaged in a thrilling six-goal draw with Marseille in their opening group match.

AEK Athens, often considered the underdogs, surprised everyone in their Group B opener against Brighton by securing a memorable 3-2 victory on the South Coast. Despite holding just 25% of the possession, the Greek champions held their own, with goals from Djibril Sidibe and Mijat Gacinovic matched by two Joao Pedro penalties. AEK Athens snatched all three points with an 84th-minute winner from substitute Ezequiel Ponce.

Following their impressive triumph over Brighton, Matias Almeyda’s squad continued their strong performance in the Greek Super League, notching consecutive 2-1 victories against Panathanikos and Atromitos. However, their winning streak came to a halt on Monday when they faced OFI and suffered a 2-0 loss on the road.

What to remember – AEK Athens vs. Ajax

AEK Athens will likely believe they can secure another notable victory as they go up against an Ajax team currently struggling, having not won any of their last five matches in all competitions, excluding the recent abandoned match against RKC Waalwijk.

Given the offensive potential of both squads, it’s plausible to anticipate an exciting, high-scoring draw taking place in Greece.
