AEK and PAOK rivarly set to ignite in battle for second spot on league table

COVID permitting, AEK and PAOK are set to headline the 17th round of the Super League as they both wish to stake their claim as the second most fearsome club this season.

The Athenian Giants will host the Thessaloniki visitors on Monday morning (AEDT) and the home side will be motivated to protect their position in second as it slowly comes under threat with PAOK’s good form.

A win for PAOK will see them narrow the gap to only two points with a game in hand.

Olympiacos will hold Asteras Tripolis at Karaiskakis Stadium and, after a draw against the league’s bottom placed team, they will be eager to remind the away side of their superiority.

Panathinaikos travels to Volos as they seek to maintain their current form which includes their success over the home side in the Greek Cup at the end of last year.
