Ergotelis Heraklion vs AEK Athens Match Preview
The talk of crisis started long ago with AEK this season, however the club would be plunged further into the abyss should they shockingly miss the playoffs. That has become a distinct possibility after a disastrous run of form and this weekend Manolo Jimenez’s side travel to play high-flying Ergotelis.
Nikos Karageorgiou’s team are a settled side who have their eye on the final playoff place and while it remains to be seen whether the club have what it takes to claim a top five finish, recent evidence suggests that this is a team to watch down the stretch. Ergotelis were off last weekend as their match against PAOK was postponed due to PAOK’s Europa League participation.
AEK meanwhile were disappointing yet again giving up a late goal to draw 1-1 with Panionios. That result means AEK have won only once in their last five outings and now they are in real danger of missing out on Europe should they continue such poor form.
