AEK Athens host LASK on Tuesday, September 8 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).
AEK Athens have no fresh team news to work around, so Barnabás Varga, Luka Jović and Răzvan Marin should all be involved in support of a front line that has already produced four unanswered goals in a single match this season. LASK travel with Samuel Adeniran and Moses Usor leading the attack, backed by Robert Ljubičić, all three of whom were on the scoresheet in a five-goal win over Celtic last time out.
The form lines tell two different stories that arrive at a similar place. AEK Athens drew at Levski Sofia before putting four unanswered goals past the same opponents at home. LASK, meanwhile, needed extra time to see off Celtic 5-1 having lost 3-0 to the same side a week earlier. Both sides have shown they can be hurt and both have shown they can score for fun, which lines up with a market that makes AEK Athens clear favorites at home while still pricing in goals from Samuel Adeniran and company at the other end.
