Manchester CityNo absentees
AEK AthensNo absentees
Manchester City host AEK Athens at the Etihad looking to bounce back from a 4-2 Champions League defeat to PSG, while the Greek side arrive 20th in the league phase after a 3-1 loss away at Shakhtar Donetsk last time out (8pm).
Anthony Eadson’s Manchester City vs AEK Athens predictions, best bets and score prediction for Tuesday’s 8pm kick-off are below.
Premium Tips
City’s firepower at the Etihad shapes both our picks.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Phil Foden to score anytime | 17/10 (Ladbrokes) | Phil Foden should fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet as City chase a response to that 4-2 home loss to PSG. The hosts have found the net in both league-phase games, four goals in total, and face a side that conceded three on their last away trip at Shakhtar Donetsk. AEK sit 20th and have managed just two goals themselves, so expect City to dominate and Foden to be in the thick of it. 17/10 appeals. |
| Antoine Semenyo to assist anytime | 11/4 (bet365) | Antoine Semenyo looks a tempting price in the assist market given how open City’s games have been, with eight goals in total across their two fixtures. AEK leaked three on the road at Shakhtar Donetsk and will likely be pinned back for long spells at the Etihad. As a creative outlet in a City side expected to pile forward against the division’s 20th-placed team, Semenyo setting one up at 11/4 carries genuine value. |

How Manchester City go into the game
Manchester City sit 17th after a stop-start opening, with a win and a defeat leaving them on three points. Four goals scored and four conceded in two games underline how uneven things have been so far.
Their most recent outing was a 4-2 home defeat to PSG, which followed a 2-0 win away at Porto on matchday one. A kick-off of 8pm at the Etihad gives them the chance to make amends in front of their own supporters.
How AEK Athens go into the game
AEK Athens have a win and a loss to their name, which leaves them 20th in the standings on three points. Two goals scored and three conceded shows a side that has largely kept things tight without troubling the scorers much.
Last time out they were beaten 3-1 away at Shakhtar Donetsk, a result that came after a 1-0 home win over LASK on the opening night. A trip to the Etihad is a very different test to anything they have faced yet.
Manchester City vs AEK Athens head-to-head
There is no competitive history between these clubs to draw on, a common quirk of the expanded league phase. City’s quality and home advantage should make them comfortable favourites against first-time opponents.
Manchester City vs AEK Athens predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester City win | 1/10 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | AEK sit 20th and were beaten 3-1 on their only away game so far, while the hosts are heavy favourites at the Etihad. |
| Both teams to score – No | 4/6 (Betway) | ⭐⭐⭐ | City kept a clean sheet in their win at Porto and should fancy shutting out visitors who have mustered only two goals in two outings. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 2/7 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | City’s two matches have produced eight goals between them, so there is little suggestion of a low-scoring night at the Etihad. |
| Correct score Manchester City 3-0 AEK Athens | 6/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | City won 2-0 at Porto and should better that at home, with AEK’s defence already shipping three in a single game. |
Manchester City vs AEK Athens score prediction
Home advantage and a clear gap in class point one way. AEK have won once but were beaten 3-1 on their last away trip, and City will be desperate to make amends for the PSG loss at the Etihad. Score prediction: Manchester City 3-0 AEK Athens.
