AE Larisa vs AEK Athens: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sun, 21 Sep '25)

As the sun sets over the Alcazar Stadium in Greece on Sunday, September 21st, 2025, the atmosphere is already tingling with anticipation. It's time for the Stoiximan Super League showdown between AE Larisa and AEK Athens. Reflecting on the past, AE Larisa might want to borrow a winning strategy, as their last three tangoes with AEK Athens resulted in zero triumphs. On the other hand, AEK Athens strutted off victoriously in all those encounters, with nary a draw in sight. The last time they met, AEK Athens sashayed away with a 4-2 victory on February 15th, 2021, leaving Larisa fans shaking their heads in disbelief.

Fast forward to the present—AE Larisa comes bouncing into this face-off after a thrilling 2-2 draw with GS Marko, while AEK Athens waltzes in with confidence, having slipped past AO Egaleo with a 1-0 win. Looming over the dynamic of this match is the league standings: AE Larisa lingers in 11th place, while AEK Athens poses a formidable challenge from the 2nd spot. With such rankings, you'd think AE Larisa might want to bring sandwiches because they'll be doing a lot of chasing!

Focus on the individual stars of each team: AE Larisa will want to spotlight G. Pasas, their shining beacon with two goals to his name this season. Meanwhile, AE Larisa's defense better have an eye trained on P. Mantalos from AEK Athens, who, with a single assist, can change the course of the game faster than you can say "Goal!" AE Larisa boasts players like Ahmed Lavrentis Ouattara Kossonou, Giannis Pasas, and Jani Atanasov holding respectable ratings of 7.7, 7.35, and 7.2, respectively. Meanwhile, for AEK Athens, James Penrice, Petros Mantalos, and Zini, decorated with ratings of 7.85, 7.8, and 7.7, are ready to make their mark.

And let’s not forget the test of endurance: possession time. AE Larisa quaintly holds onto the ball 43.67% of the time they find themselves on the pitch, while AEK Athens bogarts it 59% of the time—clearly not fans of sharing. In terms of earning corners, AE Larisa just sweeps up two per game on average, while AEK Athens leads by piling up a chunky 7.33. But discipline is a virtue, or so they say. AE Larisa's season clock ticks with 10 yellow cards and, mercifully, zero red ones, but they’ve conceded one penalty goal. AEK Athens, like their disciplined brother from another mother, blinks at their tag-team twin of six yellow cards, no reds, and a conceded penalty goal too. Shafted yellow cards galore, but at least they're avoiding crimson complications.

Ladies and gentlemen, based strictly on the stats and the tales they weave, it's likely AEK Athens will once again strut away with the glory. Just don't count out AE Larisa's attempts to spin this yarn in a different direction.
