Olympiakos Piraeus FC vs AEK Athens Best odds and tips

Olympiakos Piraeus FC have been in mixed form since the appointment of Jose Luis Mendilibar as manager in February 2024, with three defeats in their last five matches. The hosts had a fantastic 4-2 win over Panathinaikos, but two away-day defeats have followed since. AEK Athens are a more methodical team than their hosts, who tend to play a more open, attack-minded style of football in 4-3-3 and similar formations. Matias Almeyda’s side, who have one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five, have been more solid in the back line, but are capable of hurting the opposition on the counter-attack.

AEK Athens beat Olympiacos 2-0 but suffered defeats in their other two recent encounters. AEK’s Petros Mantalos has scored two of his team’s four goals in their last five games, while Roman Yaremchuk remains a reliable goal scorer for Olympiacos with four in his last five. Christos Mouzakitis has three assists in his last five appearances for the hosts, who will look to make the most of home advantage in what could be another close contest between these two clubs. The bookmakers have Olympiacos at 2.70 and AEK at 2.50 for Sunday’s game, which is a bit of a surprise given the form of the two teams. Both Teams to Score at 1.83 is tempting for those looking for a bit of action on this clash between two teams that have both been involved in some close games in recent weeks. Olympiacos have won two of the last three home meetings between the clubs, but AEK will be looking to change that trend as both sides chase top league positions for their Champions League aspirations.
