AEK host Leicester at Spiros Louis Stadium (Athens) in the 2nd round of Group G of the Europa League on Thursday, October 29 and the match kicks off at 5.55pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
AEK have lost their 1st round away match against Braga (3-0) and the Greek outfit also started their Super League 1 campaign in inconsistent fashion having failed to win either of their last two despite winning their first two games. As for Leicester, they dispatched their Ukrainian visitors (3-0) in their group opener thanks to goals from Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Iheanacho. Although they could have scored plenty more, this was a positive beginning to a Europa League group phase during which they will also face AEK Athens and Braga.
MATCH ANALYSIS
AEK is one of the aristocrats of Greek football with loads of domestic league and cup titles who won The Super League of Greece as recent as in 2017/18, ending 3rd last season. The manager is Italian Massimo Carrera, the 56-year-old former Juventus and Atalanta defender.In the first round of the Europa League group stage AEK suffered a convincing defeat at Braga after Galeno, Paulinho and Ricardo Horta scored for the hosts who ended AEK’s undefeated streak of 10 away games in the competition since 2011. Braga made the Greeks pay for their errors and a question mark arises over the performance of AEK strikers Nelson Oliveira and Marko Livaja, as well as the way coach Massimo Carrera is handling the team. This week they have another tough test when they welcome the group favourites Leicester.
The Foxes started their European campaign on on October 22 with their first win in the UEFA Cup/Europa League (P5 W1 D1 L3) in what was their first appearance in the competition since season 2000/01. With Vardy in the stands because of a calf injury, there was concern over where the Leicester goal threat may come from, but England internationals James Maddison and Harvey Barnes scored their first European goals to mark Leicester’s return to continental action with a comfortable home win. With the likes of Youri Tielemans, Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and James Maddison are a class above most of what their Europa League group has to offer. The only question is how much Leicester’s stars will feature as Rodgers looks to balance his squad across the Premier League and FA Cup too.
