AEK Athens’ impressive winning record at home will be put to its sternest test of the season when Real Madrid come to Allwyn Arena on Wednesday for matchday four of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League (UCL). This match between the 29th-placed ‘Yellow-Blacks’ and the 4th-placed ‘Los Blancos’ promises to be an exciting match with both attacks eagerly awaiting the clash.
AEK have three points so far in this edition (W1, L2) and are separated from the top 24 clubs by goal difference alone. Madrid, on the other hand, are one of the five teams to have won all three league phase matches so far.
The onus is on the Greeks to bank on their home performance to give a tough fight, although the Spaniards have been building up crucial momentum. It has been more than a month since they last dropped points, so are the home fans bracing up for a disappointing result? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

AEK Athens - Real Madrid: Form Analysis
AEK lost 2-0 away at Panathinaikos on Sunday in the Greek Super League. The result continued a difficult phase for the ‘Yellow-Blacks’, who have now lost four of their last five games (W1) in all competitions.
Two of those losses have come in the UCL competition, where a 3-1 loss at Shakhtar Donetsk and a 5-1 defeat at Manchester City pulled them down. Their only win of this edition came on matchday at home, where they edged LASK 1-0. That victory was part of an impressive run of results at this venue.
AEK have won all seven competitive home matches this season.
Madrid won 3-0 at Racing Santander on Sunday, which was preceded by a 2-1 win in El Clasico against Barcelona. These results are a culmination of their increase in confidence, and the visitors have now posted six wins in a row.
Those wins aggregated 18 goals with Madrid scoring three or more in four of those fixtures, underlining their strong offensive skills. They have won 2-1 at home against Inter, 4-3 away at Roma, and 4-1 at home against Leipzig in this competition.

AEK Athens & Real Madrid Squad Analysis
AEK’s Thomas Strakosha missed their weekend match and is likely to be out of contention. The squad, otherwise, is fully fit and has no major concerns, leaving the Greeks with enough options to start in their 4-4-2 formation.
Barnabas Varga (nine goals) and former Madrid striker Luka Jovic (seven) have been the top performers for AEK in all competitions. Varga also has two goals in this competition and could be their lone creative outlet.
Kylian Mbappe has seven goals in his last five matches for Madrid.
All eyes will be on Vinicius, who has been suspended in the league but is available in Europe. However, with only one goal and three assists this season in 11 competitive games, Vini Jr. has struggled for impact. One player who could miss the action is Federico Valverde, who missed the weekend win because of a hamstring issue.
The visitors are set to start in their usual 4-2-3-1 system, with Mbappe looking to be the difference. Yan Diomande also has four goals and assists each and may keep Vinicius out of the playing XI.

Our AEK Athens vs Real Madrid Prediction
AEK have been in great form at home, winning each of their seven competitive matches this season. While that gives them confidence, how much of that translates to success against Real Madrid is a question mark. The Spaniards are one of the five teams to have won the first three league phase games and have been in great scoring form as well.
With both teams in such impressive form and with their last two head-to-head matches seeing BTTS, a repeat could be on the cards. Our AEK Athens vs Real Madrid prediction is BTTS.
AEK Athens vs Real Madrid Alternative Predictions
Real Madrid wins
Kylian Mbappe Over 2.5 Shots on Target
Kylian Mbappe had only one shot on target in their weekend game against Real Betis but has 10 in total in the three league phase matches of this competition. Two of those games saw him fire four shots each on target, so the French forward could again be firing on all cylinders.
