- AEK Athens have won one of their last five games and come into this fixture on the back of consecutive defeats to Panathinaikos and FC PAOK Thessaloniki.
- Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last five outings (W5) and have won their only UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 away fixture to date.
Real are coming to town
Real Madrid look a cut above AEK Athens in all departments for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 fixture in Greece, and Jose Mourinho's men should be able to prove their superiority at the Allwyn Arena.
Real Madrid are flying at the moment and they've won three of their three away fixtures in all competitions, including their only UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 match to date.
Dikéfalos are on a rotten run of form at the other end of the table and come into this clash with just one win from their last five matches. They've also lost their previous two fixtures against Panathinaikos and FC PAOK Thessaloniki, so this is anything but a fixture that they can look forward to.
AEK are in for a long evening
AEK have been set up to press hard, play vertically, stay compact and then play through the middle when games turn into a battle of attrition by boss Marko Nikolic. Real Madrid's mid-block is equally disciplined and built to absorb pressure while being lethal when they can punish turnovers on the break.
Los Merengues' killer instinct should see them through this fixture and our Real Madrid away win prediction is available at a touch over evens. The over 2.5 goals selection looks live at 3/10, but we've also taken BTTS No at 6/5 which should suit a game where Madrid can keep AEK quiet.
Mbappe to get on the scoresheet in Greece
Federico Valverde is the top scorer for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 with one goal in one appearance, but we're siding with Kylian Mbappe to score in this matchup.
The French superstar has been in supreme form of late, netting six of Real Madrid's 14 goals across their last five competitive fixtures.
Razvan Marin is AEK's main man and a good anytime goal scorer choice given he's a player in the squad to have scored a goal in their only UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 appearance to date (1).
