AEK vs PAOK Prediction: Will there be a change at the top again?

Like in a lottery: new round, new luck. Another round of the fight for the title in Greece has passed and a new leader has emerged again. As of the last round, the number one position belongs to PAOK, who had the easiest job in the last round and did it without a mistake. Lamia, the last team in the play-off table, which is playing without any pressure, fell at "Tumba Stadium" in Thessaloniki - 3:1. Meanwhile AEK were defeated by Panathinaikos away, 2:1 after they got the lead in the match. Only one point is the difference between these teams in the table and the stakes are very huge at the moment for both of them.

In the last round, AEK took the lead against their city rival in the fifth minute with a goal by Domagoj Vida, who did the best in the penalty area after a corner kick. It was Vida's fifth goal in the championship this season. In the 10th minute, the guests had a great chance to make it 2:0, but Steven Zuber missed. Panathinaikos turned the score around by the end of the half. Bakasetas equalized in the 32nd minute with a nice shot from 20 meters, and Fotis Ioannidis gave the home team the lead in the 34th minute after a big mistake by Harold Moukoudi, who played and lost the ball as the last defender. There were no more goals in the rest of the match. AEK now fell to 2nd place.

AEK's defeat was used by PAOK, who beat Lamia 3:1 in Thessaloniki. The guests took the lead in the seventh minute with a goal by Ruben Martinez, and in the last moments of the first half Ioannis Michailidis equalized. In the continuation of the match, Stefan Schwab brought victory to the hosts with two goals. PAOK are now considered favorites for winning the title, and even though there are 6 more rounds after this one to be played, with a win here they will gain a huge advantage.

In the regular part of the season AEK won in this stadium while in Thessaloniki, they played a draw. Panathinaikos and even Olympiakos are very near and there isn’t room for mistakes, so whoever loses this match can consider they lost the title. AEK are a slight favorite due to a home field, but I think that both teams are very similar, and only details will make a difference in this match.
