AEK Athens vs Aberdeen Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23rd 2025

AEK Athens will host Aberdeen at the OPAP Arena on Thursday in the second round of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. Both sides will be keen to pick up their first points of the campaign and move higher up the league table.

AEK were totally outclassed and outmatched in their 3-1 loss to Slovenian side NK Celje in the opening fixture of the Conference League season. The Greek side booked a spot on the continental stage this season by finishing fourth in the Stoiximan Super League last season and then going unbeaten in six qualification playoff games but will need to be much better to book a place in the knockout rounds of the competition.

Aberdeen put up a commendable performance in the first round but still failed to pick up a point as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this month. The Scottish side are appearing in the Conference League for the second time in their history and will be hoping to go farther than they did in their debut appearance and advance to the knockout stages.
