Talking Tactics

The Hoops have tended towards a 4-2-3-1 system this season, and it’s delivered UCL wins over Alashkert and Rosenborg. So chances are they’ll stick with it.

Moussa Dembele is travelling to Athens, but his injury lay-off means a start is unlikely. Leigh Griffiths will probably sit behind Odsonne Edouard up top.

AEK tend towards three at the back, with a defensive midfield duo protecting them. Konstantinos Galanopoulos is suspended, meaning it’s likely to be a DM duo of captain Andre Simoes and Erik Moran.

Goalscorer Odds

For the visitors, Eduoard could offer the best chance of a goal. He’s netted seven times in his last 10 outings. The Frenchman is 17/10 Anytime and 9/2 to break the deadlock.

The wily Griffiths is 7/4 to find the net, with first-leg goal hero Callum McGregor a 10/3 shot.

As for the hosts, their biggest threat comes from 21/10 shot Marco Livaja. The lively Croatian netted eight times last season – including two Europa League goals.
