AEK Athens
- AEK Athens are unbeaten in their last five Super League matches, winning three and drawing two, including 4-0 victories over Levadiakos and Panserraikos.
- AEK Athens’ current form suggests they will again dominate Larissa FC on Saturday and extend their position at the top of the Super League table.
- Marko Nikolić’s team are heavy favorites at 1.23 to take all three points and their visitors are huge underdogs to do anything but lose at the OPAP Arena.
- AEK are in full flight with 13 goals scored in their last five league outings and Luka Jović’s recent goalscoring form has put them in the driver’s seat at the peak of the table.
- He will be well supported again on Saturday by Razvan Marin and Petros Mantalos, who keep the tempo and provide assists, and Orbelín Pineda, who also chips in with goals from the number 10 position.
- Nikolić’s side are clearly one of the best teams in the division and it is no coincidence they top the table on over 45 points already.
Larissa
- Larissa have won only one of their last five league games, suffering two heavy defeats and two draws during that run.
- Larissa are not in the top half of the Super League and hover just above the relegation zone on around 18 - 21 points.
- Pantelidis has set up his team in a compact, defensive-minded style, but they have still conceded nine goals in their last five Super League outings and cannot match AEK’s quality when they play.
- Larissa are more likely to try and frustrate AEK and hit on the counter attack or from set pieces, but they will be frustrated if AEK get on top.
- Lubomír Tupta and Leandro Garate should be Larissa’s best outlet up front on Saturday, but they are not as sharp against good teams as they are against weaker sides.
- Facundo Pérez will provide the impetus from midfield, but Giannis Pasas is their best outlet right now.
