Lamia vs AEK Athens Prediction: AEK are a huge favorite

Well, now it gets interesting! The last round of the first part of the Greek championship was played, and from this round, the table will be divided into a play-off and a play-out zone. In the fight for the title, everything is possible, because the four best teams have settled in four points. PAOK entered the playoffs as the first-placed team, and that was because AEK dropped the victory in Thessaloniki over Aris in the 97th minute and lost the leading position before the playoffs.

Lamia are probably the weakest team in the championship group. They are in last, 6th place in this group, and are entering into this playoff with three defeats in a row. In the last round, they lost against PAOK at home 2:0. At home they have a record of 6 wins, 2 draws, and 5 defeats, and in the last two matches at home, they lost against PAOK and AEK. Unfortunately for them, this match will be played without spectators and since they have no chances of qualifying for European competition next season they will enjoy playing against the best in Greece.

In the last round Aris received a penalty deep in stoppage time, Moron took it and thereby ruined the score for the black and yellow team from Athens, who saw themselves in first place before the playoffs. PAOK received a great gift, they now have a point more than AEK, and they did their job by winning away from Lamia - 2:0. Now AEK have a bit easier away challenge, and they can’t afford not to win this match against Lamia.

These teams played in this stadium two weeks ago and AEK won confidently 3:1. In this match I expect AEK to push hard from the start, control the match, and win with several goals difference. Their manager Almeyda said that he will not tolerate such undisciplined players and he is ready to make changes in the squad that will face Lamia. There aren’t missing players in either team, but AEK are different level and everything else but an away win in this match will be a huge surprise.
