AEK Athens prepares for match against Levadiakos

AEK Athens is set to face Levadiakos this Sunday at 17:00 at the Allwyn Arena in Nea Filadelfeia, as part of the 10th round of the Stoiximan Super League. Following their intense European match against Real Madrid and a recent league defeat to Panathinaikos, manager Marko Nikolic is emphasizing the need for patience and effective ball circulation to secure a victory before the upcoming international break.

The team faces a forced lineup change as Lazaros Rota is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Candidates to fill the right-back position include Georgiev, Christakopoulos, and Gacinovic, with the final decision pending. While the central defensive partnership of Moukoudi and Rvelas is expected to remain, other areas of the squad may see adjustments. Specifically, Vitalis and Marin are likely to return to the midfield, and there is uncertainty regarding the goalkeeper position, with Strakosha potentially returning to the starting lineup over Brignoli.

Nikolic aims for a persuasive performance to improve morale for the remainder of the 2026 season. The squad remains focused on regaining ground in the domestic league after their European efforts.
