Olympiakos have not been performing expectedly well enough, recently. They have been looking for some fresh signings to boost their motivation and performance and tranaferred their former player Lua Lua. Their coach Zico had some criticisms especially in the last matchdays of first half for using some players at different positions that they are not used to.

AEK on the other hand are struggling financially and not having the best of seasons. Players seem unmotivated and the only realistic aim left is to grab a place to secure a European Cups. Game’s being a derby might give some motivation but still they need more than motivation here; quality; and that’s what the squad miss this season.

As for prediction I am not expecting so many goals here. It is a derby anyway and we all know how derbies played in the Greece league. Olympiakos would be very happy with a 1-0 even if they score an early goal, they unlikely will keep attacking. They probably won’t risk; If they lose here they will probably be five points behind the leader Panathinaikos; that’s a gap hard to overcome in Greece league even it is early days in the second half, therefore, they will be looking for a win without any extra effort.
