AEK Athens
- AEK Athens can keep their hopes of winning the Greek title alive with a home win over survival-conscious Kifisia in Sunday’s Super League clash.
- Including the cup, AEK have won three and drawn two of their last five matches.
Kifisia
- AEK are unbeaten against Kifisia, who have 27 points from 25, and occupy a mid-table position of safety from relegation for now.
- Kifisia’s recent form has been inconsistent with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five Super League games.
- Sebastián Leto has made them a pragmatic, compact, hard-to-beat unit that will try to stay in games and nick points with their zonal defensive structure, counter-attacks and set-piece play.
Head-to-Head
Since Kifisia’s return to the Super League, AEK are unbeaten in all seven competitive meetings (5 wins, 2 draws).
Key Players
-
AEK
- Orbelín Pineda and Razvan Marin can control the flow of the game when AEK have the ball, but both are also top assist providers and chance creators.
- Up front, Luka Jović is their most prolific player and primary striker, currently on 15 league goals for the season.
- AEK are a high-tempo, possession-dominant team that like to stretch the flanks and press high to win the ball back in attacking positions.
-
Kifisia
- Goalkeeper Moisés Ramírez has been a standout performer for Kifisia as he keeps his team in games when the stronger teams have the majority of possession and play.
- Jorge Pombo is a key player for the visitors and leads the team’s scoring charts with five Super League goals this season, but is also their top-rated player when they perform well.
- Jeremy Antonisse and David Simón have the pace and creativity to threaten on the break, which is where Kifisia must look for their best opportunities to hurt AEK.

Prediction

- We expect the stronger team to get the win on Sunday.
