AEK Athens FC welcome the visitors Atromitos F.C. in the Greek Cup Play-offs – Quarter-finals. The match will be held on Tuesday, February, 26th, at the Olympic Stadium of Athens ‘Spiros Louis’ (Athens).
In the first leg out, AEK Athens FC won Atromitos F.C. by a minimum goal margin, 1:0. They outclass their opponent and they play at home on Tuesday, so, they are considered favorites. In front of their own fans, Athens demonstrate a very secure defense and generally score under two goals per game. Given that they netted in the first leg, they don’t need to hurry now; but we also assume that the guests may win, as they do have chances to succeed.

Atromitos perform well in two competitions this campaign. Mind their four latest outings – the team suffered no loss there and allowed only two goals, thus, they are fine in terms of the defense and, most importantly, are in good physical shape ahead of the coming clash. In fact, this is in the Cup fixtures that they demonstrate quite a confident attack.
Though Athens are considered favorites, the coming encounter presents a derby; both sides are from Athens, they have neighboring arenas, so, it won’t take Atromitos long to get to the Olympic Stadium, and they will have strong support by their fans. As far as the hosts on the day are concerned, in the end of the first leg, their key attacking player Ezequiel Ponce was booked twice, therefore, he will miss the Tuesday encounter. That said, two best Greek Cup strikers, Efthymis Koulouris and Konstantinos Kotsopoulos, who made ten goals, play for Atromitos. Anyways, we expect an underscoring match. Finally, consider the head-to-heads’ history: five meetings of the sides (across all competitions) were not effective.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
