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.

Expert Betting Tips

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.
