AEK Athens
Dynamo Kyiv
- AEK Athens have switched between a back three and back four throughout the season but appear to have settled on a 4-2-3-1 formation for now.
- Giannis Anestis has been removed from their Europa League squad for the knockout phase, so Panagiotis Tsintotas is expected to start in goal on Thursday in favour of Vasilios Barkas.
- January arrival Masoud Shojaei is expected to start behind Sergio Araujo or Marko Livaja for AEK Athens as Petros Mantalos is still injured.
- Vasilios Lambropoulos has been added to the AEK Athens squad for the knockout phase and will battle for a starting spot alongside Ognjen Vranjes with Dmytro Chygrynskiy.
- Jakob Johansson is sidelined for the home side, so Panagiotis Kone or Erik Morán will deputise in central midfield.
- André Simoes, Lopes, Vranjes and Livaja are all one booking away from a one-match ban in the return leg.
- Dynamo Kyiv have plenty of options in central midfield areas with Vitaliy Buyalskiy, Serhiy Sydorchuk, Volodymyr Shepelev and Mykola Shaparenko battling for two places.
- Maxym Koval has been removed from Kyiv's squad for the knockout stage of the Europa League after moving to Spain in January and with Georgi Bushchan injured, Denys Boyko is expected to start in goal.
AEK just should win couse they are fit, and they are nuts at home
athens surprise win 1-0 or 1-1
Greek league is well known for scoring less goals. So best bet here would be under 2.5 goals and at odd of 1.8 for BTTS no. Am loading on it.
I I think that the keeper will be Boyko, he was specially bought because of the injury Bushchan
