AEK Athens vs Olympiakos Volos Match Preview
It would a brave man to bet on AEK matches this season as the club has produced yet another inconsistent campaign. The belief now ahead of their weekend match-up with Olympiakos Volos is that recent good results have been a sign that things are changing.
Confidence seems to be growing in Manolo Jimenez’s team after a string of victories have been put together. The club also got a boost with a crucial 2-0 first leg away win over Panathinaikos in Greek Cup quarterfinal action earlier in the week.
Olympiakos Volos were dealt a heavy defeat by PAOK last weekend, though the club bounced back in Greek Cup action winning 2-0 in Kerkyra to take a giant step toward the semifinals. Suddenly, after occupying 5th place for a while, the league has become a concern for the team as they sit just three points above the last relegation spot.
With a difficult stretch of matches coming up in the next month, Volos will need to start picking up some points to stay clear of the drop zone.
