AEK Athens VS OFI Crete

In their last friendly match at home, they thrashed Kallithea Athens, achieving two consecutive victories. Looking at their home record, AEK Athens has a strong home - field advantage. In their last ten home games, they had 7 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, with a high unbeaten rate. During this period, they averaged 2.1 goals per game and only conceded 0.7 goals on average, indicating both a powerful attacking force and a stable defense. On the other hand, OFI Crete's situation is less optimistic. They finished sixth in the Super League Greece last season, which is an acceptable performance. However, in their last friendly match away, they lost to Veria II, suffering three consecutive defeats and showing a slump in form. In terms of away games, OFI Crete struggles. In their last ten away fixtures, they managed only 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses, with a low unbeaten rate. Their offensive and defensive statistics on the road are also not good.
