- AEK Athens are the clear leaders of the Super League Championship Group with 67 points from 29 matches, 16 more than Panathinaikos.

Panathinaikos
- Panathinaikos have won just one of their last five league matches (W1, D2, L2).

Prediction
- We’re going for an AEK win here as they have better form and more consistency, particularly at home.
- Nikolic’s side have been able to control the pace of their games and we fancy them to just edge out the visitors in a tight matchup.
- We predict another clean sheet for at least one side.
