Another important game of the matchday between the two-headed eagle of the south; AEK and two-headed eagle of the North; PAOK.

AEK have been quite disappointing this season. The financial crisis effects the club too much and as the likely consequance; a play-off spot for European Cups is the last realistic aim left and even for that they have a mountain to climb under these circumstances.

PAOK on the other hand are flying high in the standings sitting on the 3rd place and have been playing some good football recently. They have lost only twice in the league and they were narrow 2-1 defeats against Panathinaikos and Olympiakos.

Despite the all negativeness around the AEK, they still have some good points on the pitch. Scoco and Blanco are always dangerous plus the team seemed to have the upper hand in producing goals from set pieces. The bad news for the line-up is they will be missing their important attacker Nemeth in this match.

This one has to be mentioned as well; There will be no away fans allowed for this game according to the rule in the derby matches in the Greek 1st League.

As for the prediction; I am expecting a good performance from PAOK here. This is a good chance for them to win against a rival this season after loosing to Olympiakos and Panathinaikos narrowly. They probably won’t catch AEK in this situation anytime soon. Besides all the facts about AEK’s being in a bad situation; PAOK are in a great shape and they are more than capable of getting a result against any team in any situation this year. I’ll go for a double chance in favor of PAOK.

Prediction
PAOK | X2 Double Chance
