A.E. Kifisia F.C.

vs

AEK Athens

Tips, Stats and Odds

Kifisia are in mixed-to-solid form, although the 6-1 crushing of Aps Zakynthos in the cup was the highlight of a run of two wins and three draws in their last five contests. At home, the hosts have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three games across all current competitions.

Sebastián Leto has kept Kifisia compact and well-drilled. Their 4-2-3-1 set-up is based on maintaining a tight shape, low-risk defending and being more dangerous on counters and from set-pieces rather than open play.

AEK boss Marko Nikolić has his side playing in a more proactive manner, looking to dictate the pace and tempo of the game. His side look to own the ball in midfield, press in phases and force overloads in the half-spaces. Luka Jovic has two goals in one Super League game to be the team's biggest threat, but Razvan Marin has been the puppet master with two assists in the same amount of games.

AEK travel to Michalis Kritikopoulos Stadium on Sunday as clear favorites at 1.4, but there is some value at 7.8 for Kifisia and 4.8 for the draw. Both are enticing, but the visitors should edge this one.

We're sticking with AEK because they have dominated this fixture of late, winning four of the last five meetings, and Kifisia have failed to win their last two home games against them. The hosts' compact nature will make them difficult to break down, but we don't think they can prevent Jovic and Marin running the show.
