Third placed AEK Athens can move up a place in Europa League Group B if they win on Thursday. They host Brighton and Hove Albion who are second and three points ahead of them. The Greek side have already won away at Brighton in the opening games in this group which Marseille lead by a point. AEK won 3-2 at Brighton but since then have only earned one point in three games. They came from behind to draw 1-1 at home with Ajax (who they traveled to in their final fixture) and then lost home and away to Marseille. The Yellow-Blacks are third in the Greek Super League, only a point behind leaders Panathinaikos. Their most recent game saw them win 1-0 at PAS Giannina. The Double-Headed Eagles have only lost one of their last seven home games but already lost twice in European competitions this season.
Brighton are playing in Europe for the first time and a win here will take them into the Europa League knockout stages. They could even go top of the group if Marseille doesn't beat bottom-of-the-group Ajax. Losing to AEK would put the Seagulls in danger of missing out if it doesn't go well at home against Marseille in their final game. At least finishing third and going into the Europa Conference League is looking likely and would be confirmed this week if Ajax fail to beat Marseille. Brighton struggled early on in this group with only a point from their first two games. They've since beaten Ajax home and away to move up to second. Brighton won 3-2 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday and we tip both teams to score in this gameLimited Offer. Currently at Stake
