Man City Vs AEK Athens Preview
Last time out in the Champions League, Man City lost 4-2 to PSG in what was a humbling lesson for the Premier League giants. There’s no denying that the Parisians are one of the best on the planet but the gulf in class was somewhat worrying. Nonetheless, the 2023 victors got back on track with a 3-2 win against Ipswich in England’s elite on Saturday.
As far as AEK Athens are concerned, they lost 3-1 Shahktar on matchday two but did manager to secure a win against LASK in early September. Many will be predicting a hefty defeat at the Etihad – especially as the Yellow-Blacks don’t typically fare well against English opponents in the UCL.
Man City Vs AEK Athens H2H Record
This will be the maiden meeting between Man City and AEK Athens. Enzo Maresca’s side have won three and drawn once in four European fixtures against Greek opponents. In eight Champions League outings against Premier League sides, the Yellow-Blacks have only been successful on one occasion.
Man City Vs AEK Athens Team News
Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes are rated 50/50 for Man City. The same applies to Antoine Semenyo whereas star striker Erling Haaland may be rested. Haaland scored twice against Ipswich on Saturday but did also pick up a knock.
Meanwhile, Luka Jovic and Barnabas Varga are expected to lead the line for AEK Athens. The former was once tipped as Real Madrid’s next galactico but is now re-starting his career in Greece. Jovic has netted six times in ten appearances across all competitions in 2026-27.
