Olympiacos and AEK Athens bring round eight of the Greek Super League to an end when they square off at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Sunday. Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men have won each of their last four home games against AEK since a 2-1 loss in January 2024 and will be out to extend this impressive run.
Olympiacos were on the receiving end of a humiliating 7-1 defeat at the hands of La Liga giants Barcelona when the two sides squared off in the UEFA Champions League last Tuesday.
The loss against Barcelona leaves Mendilibar’s side with just one point from their first three Champions League games, but they will look to bounce back in the Super League, where they have enjoyed a solid start to the season, claiming five wins and one draw from their seven matches so far.
Olympiacos’ only league defeat came on October 5, when they were beaten 2-1 by PAOK after giving up their lead in the second half at the Toumba Stadium.
Meanwhile, AEK Athens picked up their first win of the UEFA Conference League in style as they hammered Scottish outfit Aberdeen 6-0 at OPAP Arena on Thursday.
Before that, Marko Nikolic’s men suffered their first defeat of the Super League campaign last Sunday when they were beaten 2-0 by PAOK on home turf.
AEK have picked up five wins and one draw from their seven league matches so far to collect 16 points and sit third in the table, level on points with this weekend’s hosts in second place.
