Olympiacos vs AEK Athens Prediction and Betting Tips | February 26th 2025

Olympiacos play host to AEK Athens at the Karaiskakis Stadium in the first leg of the Greek Cup semi-finals on Wednesday. Both sides met at this stage of the competition back in 2023, with Matias Almeyda’s men claiming a 4-2 aggregate victory.

Olympiacos continued their quest for the 2024-25 Super League title as they secured a 2-1 victory over PAOK at the Karaiskakis Stadium last Sunday.

Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side have now gone 24 back-to-back games without defeat across all competitions — claiming 16 wins and eight draws — a run which has seen them rise into a two-point lead at the top of the Super League table.

Olympiacos now turn their focus to the Greek Cup, where they kicked off their quest for a record-extending 29th title with a 2-1 aggregate win over Kallithea before edging out Panathinaikos by the same scoreline in the quarter-finals.

AEK Athens, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with PAOK in the second leg of their quarter-final clash on January 9 to complete a 2-1 aggregate win in the tie.

Before that, Almeyda’s men scraped through the round of 16 as they picked up a 2-1 victory against Aris Thessaloniki over two legs. AEK Athens head into Wednesday's clash off the back of a 3-0 victory over Asteras Aktor in the league, where they have won their last five games and sit second in the standings.
