AEK Athens
DLWWL
AEK are the current Greek Super League leaders and have been one of the Conference League's most exciting sides throughout the competition. However, they come into this encounter having lost consecutive games in the tournament, including their return leg against Celje (2-0) having already secured an impressive 4-0 advantage in the first. Now they face a near-impossible task of overturning a three-nil deficit from their initial encounter against Rayo Vallecano. The OPAP Arena will be a cauldron of noise.
Rayo Vallecano
LLWLL
Rayo are writing one of Spanish football's most remarkable European stories — 13th in La Liga but one step away from a Conference League semi-final. Ilias Akhomach's counter-attacking opener inside two minutes, Unai López's composed finish before the break and Isi Palaón's penalty completed a dominant 3-0 first-leg display. Iñigo Pérez's side thrived at Vallecas with their intensity and pace on the transition and have the quality to manage this return fixture in Athens effectively.
Prediction
AEK must press forward relentlessly, which opens the pitch for Rayo's pace. To that effect, a game with at least two plus goals could be anticipated.
What are the best odds for the game?
AEK Athens are given 2.10 odds to win the match on the night, while Rayo Vallecano are favoured to advance at 3.41. A draw on the night, still sending Rayo through, is staged at 3.50 odds.
