Champions League Videoton vs AEK Prediction

Videoton is the Hungarian champion and therefore contests this qualification of access the group stage of the Champions League. They are not a team that usually makes a presence in these phases and the Champions have very little experience.

Videoton this year did not start the championship very well and they conceded two draws at home where they expected more.

In this qualification for the Champions League, Videoton has already left behind the Luxembourg champion Dudelange 2-1 in the total of the tie.

Then followed if the Bulgarian Ludogorets and the Hungarians won 1-0 on the undercard and finally a 1-0 draw in Malmo, earned them the qualification for this Play Off as they held the tie at home.

A bit unfair to move to this stage to the detriment of Malmo, as the Swedes were better and had more opportunities to go forward.
The away goal proved to be fundamental in this qualification.

AEK Athens are the Greek champions putting an end to Olympiakos. This year AEK intends to renew the title of champion and have an interesting squad.

The Greek championship has not yet started but this AEK made a good pre-season and already participated in the last tie in which they left behind the Scottish champions of Celtic.

Draw 1 goal in Scotland in a match where they played more than 25 minutes reduced to 10 units.

They then beat the Scots 2-1 in a game in which they were more effective and pragmatic in defending the advantage.

They now leave as favorites to move on and the ambition is to get a new positive result away from home in this trip to Hungary.

In this team they play two Portuguese who have an important role in the 11 base of the team, defender Hélder Lopes and midfielder André Simões.

AEK Athens have a superior squad to Videoton and I believe they can leave Hungary with a positive result that goes through the win or draw.

The Greeks beat each other well enough against Celtic who are a very interesting team and had more competitive pace.

Videoton does not have the same offensive quality and even this game playing in Hungary, AEK is a favorite to win.

The Greeks should have more ball in this match in a match that should be shared with both teams to respect if enough.

Videoton showed few arguments against Malmo, but took advantage of some insinuation of the Swedes in the moment to materialize to go forward in this tie for the Champions League.

The Greeks also defend well and so I expect a positive result for the AEK team.
