AEK predictions

[BromleyMonkey]

I’m going for a comfortable 4-0 win

 

[ASCPFC]

We'll win but don't expect it to be easy, or pretty. Maybe 2-0. We could do with a clean sheet for once. Really think we should rotate or sub as much as possible. Also think we should start being a bit tougher about internationals - but that's another story.

 

[crystal-purley]

I would be happy with a 2-0 also as we have a decent squad which is also growing and hopefully Ollie will stay a bit longer

I’m thinking the Cypriots are not going to like cold rainy dark South Norwood 😃

They are not the only ones.

I know, I know, South Norwood looks better in the dark 🤣

 

[Willo]

AEK Athens goalkeeper is Thomas Strakosha whom they signed from Brentford.
Thomas Frank signed him on a 'Free' from Lazio.
He has gained a reputation as an accomplished shot-stopper.

My prediction is a narrow 1-0 win for us.

That got me curious so I took a look. They barely have any Cypriot players at all actually! Lots of Balkans and many Spaniards playing.

I would not be surprised and would take it. Clean sheet; 3 points; save much for Arsenal; a sensible economic outing.

Remember, they stuffed Alkmaar 4-0 in their last game. They are no pushover.

 

[eaglesdare]

Hmmmmm.....we have to stop underestimating these teams in Europe 😅

I think maybe Hughes and lerma will come in for Wharton and kamada. Nketiah to start and uche to get a run. A change in defence.

But knowing Glasner he will play he will play the same team as Saturday 🤣

2-0 win 😃

 

[est1905]

I'd say one area where we struggle under Glasner is breaking teams down that park the bus. This team will 100% park the bus.

1-0 Palace and that'll do me

Preferably in the rear view mirror.

I wouldn't go there in the dark I have a deep meaningful attachment to my wallet. 😉

 

[crvenaeagle]

I see no reason not to play something like;

3-4-2-1

Benitez

Richards

Guehi

Canvot

Clyne

Hughes

Lerma

Sosa

Uche

Pino

N-Ketty

No real surprise I suppose, it’s a ‘global game’ now.
I expect even a lot of their fans who visit Selhurst will probably have jumped on a bus from their kebab or chip shops in south London somewhere 😇😃

No full strength for me…….especially as I’ve predicted an easy win for us 🤣

Hughes may well aim at the Balkans. 😆 😆 😆

 

[Goal Machine]

Based on the home match against Frederiksted, I'm not expecting a walkover.

I suspect they will be physical, disciplined and sit deep. It comes down to how quickly we can score. If we can get an early one, I suspect we can semi coast to a 2 or 3 nil. If we don't, it could be a tense watch.

Would like us to rest the likes of Wharton, JPM, Sarr and Munoz. Bring them on if we need to after 60 mins.

Hopefully some significant game time for Benitez, Eddie, Canvot and Uche.

Benitez
---- Canvot - Guehi - Lerma -----
Clyne - Kamada - Hughes - Sosa
------ Pino - Eddie - Uche -----

interesting data but were you researching the right team? Nice to have the heads up on their goalie, but only if it is their goalie. Hopefully our players will come out of the tunnel come Thursday night, but if they're wearing violet or green hoops and you don't recognise any of the home team's players you will have been one step behind Willo who has found out that we have been temporarily replaced by a Europa League side of some description.

Sosa is suspended for this match due to the red card in Poland..
