AEK vs PAOK: Analysis and Prediction – AEK will play at home against PAOK in the Greek League round eight.
AEK vs PAOK Odds
AEK Team News
AEK is in a fluctuating form, although it has been playing better lately, both in the domestic league and in the FIBA Champions League. However, it should be admitted that this is also a consequence of the slightly easier schedule that the sleeping Greek giant had.
This primarily refers to the matches against Szczecin – AEK outplayed the Polish representative twice in a short time and those meetings served to improve their form. Likewise, we should not forget that this team only lost to the powerful Panathinaikos by 86:85 after a dramatic finish. It was the last game that AEK played in the Greek league and it was in that match that they left a very good impression. Both against Szczecin and against Panathinaikos, two names stood out – Justin Tillman and Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
If they continue in this rhythm, AEK will be a serious threat to any rival. Some difficulties from the beginning of the season have disappeared and now this team is ready to only get better. Whether it will succeed, this season’s success will also depend on it.
PAOK Team News
Like AEK, PAOK has been in excellent form lately. They wandered in black and white in one period, had several consecutive defeats, but then they proved that they can rise and come out of the crisis with quality basketball.
This is evidenced by three consecutive wins. Apollon, Hapoel Jerusalem and Aris were obstacles, which PAOK overcame mostly without too many difficulties, not counting the duel against the Israelis, when it was 79:77 to PAOK. In the introduction before this duel, there were not so many problems against Aris. The black and whites won 82:76, controlling most of the game, only to fall in the second half and allow their opponent to have a chance to come back. Kendall Smith and Justin Alson with 18 and 17 points were the most effective for the winners.
PAOK has shown great oscillations in the game so far. Before the aforementioned wins, they were losing to Benfica by 20 points, so the question is what is the true image of this team. It seems that the clash against AEK will provide the answer to that.

AEK vs PAOK Prediction
Both of them are in a similar situation, but the advantage is on the side of AEK, which plays superbly continuously, except for a slight drop at the beginning of the season. PAOK also allowed themselves defeats against Benfica, and those are too large amplitudes in the game, to give them any chance to make a surprise away from home against a better rival. Therefore, our suggestion is that AEK will outplay black and white by a margin higher than the offered handicap.
