This evening you can find the initial outcome of the last phase of UEFA Champions League qualifications, and one of the final clashes will take place in Belgium between Antwerp and AEK. This 1st leg duel comes at an interesting moment because the Jupiler Pro League already took off, and the Greek Super League still hasn’t started.
However, both teams are in good rhythm, so tonight’s match-up will definitely be an exciting football show.
Royal Antwerp FC
Antwerp did a great job at the beginning of the season by winning the Super Cup of Belgium against KV Mechelen. Then, they won the opening duel of the Jupiler Pro League against Cercle Brugge by 1:0. Unfortunately, in the second round Antwerp lost to Anderlecht with a final score of 1:0. But they did a great job in the following round and beat Kortrijk with a final score of 6:0. And in the last round Antwerp visited Leuven and performed a tied duel with a final score of 1:1.
So tonight the Great Old will definitely try to use the home-field advantage and go for a convincing victory over the visitors from Greece.
AEK Athens FC
AEK performed a super dramatic double match against Dinamo Zagreb. Namely, the final score of the opening duel that took place in Croatia was 1:2 for AEK. Then, the rematch in Greece was an even greater rollercoaster that ended up with a final score of 2:2. Specifically, after losing 0:2, the Greek squad managed to score twice in the extra time, and won the ticket for the final game.
Hence, they will absolutely bring their maximum tonight and go for the victory in Belgium.
