AEK Athens maintains a high-intensity profile at the OPAP Arena, where they remain undefeated this season. Statistically, AEK dominates the Greek Super League in ball recovery and final-third entries, averaging 18.4 touches in the opposition box per game. They currently sit in the top three with a goal difference of +28.
AEL Larissa, recently promoted back to the top flight, struggles with the pace of elite domestic competition. They concede an average of 1.6 goals per game and have failed to score in 45% of their away fixtures. Head-to-head records show AEK has won the last four meetings between these two without conceding a single goal. AEK’s high conversion rate from wide areas—averaging 6.2 successful crosses per match—will likely overwhelm a Larissa defense that ranks 12th in aerial duel success.
