Manchester City vs AEK Athens Prediction

Manchester City take on Greek side AEK Athens in the Champions League this week as they look to pick up a further three points.

Man City enter this game top of the Premier League with seven wins from seven games. Since losing the Community Shield 3-0 to Arsenal, Enzo Maresca's side have been on a tear and are hoping to maintain their form here.

At the weekend, City ran out 3-2 winners against Ipswich Town, a scoreline that didn't reflect what was a dominant performance.

That game followed on from one of the most entertaining Champions League games in recent memory, where City were beaten 2-4 by PSG in a game that easily could've finished 4-4.

The result means all of City's last five games have seen over 2.5 goals occur and while their games have been highly entertaining for neutrals, there will be some concern within the club around the team's defence, which doesn't look as secure as it needs to be for a top side.

AEK Athens come into this game 3rd in the Greek Super League with 14 points from six games. It's been a decent start to the campaign for the side from the Greek capital, whose game was postponed this weekend in preparation for this European tie.

AEK have had a mixed start to their Champions League campaign, beating LASK 1-0 in their first game before falling to a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk last time out.

The chances of AEK springing a surprise at the Etihad are very low, and given that they're facing a City side that have scored 18 goals in their last five games, it could turn into a bit of a beating for the Greek outfit.

Man City 4-0 AEK Athens
