2.05Tip and bets
AEK will certainly strive for victory today – without an advantage in the return match there will be practically nothing to count on. The “double-headed eagles” are quite capable of achieving their goal – PAOK is inferior in the selection of players, the “black and whites” do not look very confident in defense, and in the “OPAP Arena” the visitors have not had victories in the last six matches, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - AEK victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on total
AEK will undoubtedly take risks today and play only for victory – the hosts have very high-level players ahead and they are unlikely to remain without scoring goals. At the same time, PAOK, even taking into account the possible rotation, also has its trump cards in attack and in the last eight matches has consistently scored in all tournaments – in the last four head-to-head meetings the teams exchanged goals, the tradition will certainly continue.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
AEK are the favourites and will most likely play first – the home team should win confidently on corners.
