3rd in Group G of the Europa League, AEK is 4 units behind 2nd place and must therefore win at all costs so as not to end its last chances of qualification. Defeated in the first 2 days by Braga (3-0) and Leicester (1-2), the partners of the essential Mantalos then clearly imposed themselves at Zorya (1-4). On the other hand, they carried out a very bad operation last week by being sharply beaten at home by Zorya (0-3). On the national scene, the Athens-based team are currently 3rd and have a good record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
