Atromitos vs AEK Athens Prediction: Very difficult away match for AEK

In the 19th round of Greece Super League, we will see an interesting local derby match in Athens between Atromitos and AEK. This will be very tricky and unpleasant away match for the champion, as Atromitos are playing amazing, especially after the winter break. This match will be played without fans as all the other matches of Greece Super League this weekend.

Atromitos started the season terribly and it was clear that they aren’t playing on their level and potential. However, they woke up, they are undefeated in their 13 matches in all competitions, and they are moving up the table. Atromitos are in 8th place with 23 points, 5 wins, 8 draws and 5 defeats. At home they are still undefeated with 3 wins and 6 draws. In the last round they played a draw against OFI Crete, but they won in a cup match last week and advanced to quarterfinals.

AEK Athens were knocked out of the national cup last week against Aris. It meant that AEK are on a winless streak of 3 matches in all competitions, drawing all 3. In the league AEK are in 3rd place with 39 points, 2 points less than Panathinaikos and PAOK. In the last round they played a draw against Panathinaikos 2:2 in a very interesting and controversial derby match. For this match the manager Matias Almeyda said that they will go after all 3 points, especially after the disappointment in the Cup, they need a win to get the confidence back.

AEK Athens are always favorite when they play against Atromitos, and in this match the odds are in their favor. However, Atromitos are playing really disciplined football and they showed that they can compete with the best teams in the league. They are still playing much better at home even though they played several matches without home fans support. AEK need a win, to forget the knocking out of the Cup but more important to keep up with other teams in the title race. I expect them to win this match in which we should see several goals.
