AEK Athens – Marseille preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted AEK Athens vs Marseille lineups.
AEK Athens
AEK began the group stage with 4 points from their first 2 games. They lost in round 3 when beaten 1-3 away vs Marseille. The display was not bad at all though and the game was finely poised at 1-1 before AEK were reduced to ten men and then gave away 2 late penalties.
AEK’s domestic form is pretty solid (W6 D3 L1). They dropped precious points at the weekend though, and drew 1-1 vs Kifisia in a game that saw many of the regulars given a rest.
The main goalie Stankovic was the player sent off in France so he is now suspended. In Athanasiadis very good cover option is available. Captain Araujo and the main left-back Hajsafi nurse injuries and are likely to miss.
AEK also will be without 8 ineligible players. Among them are the important ones on the domestic stage Van Weert, Zini and Fernandes.
Predicted Lineup:
Athanasiadis (GK), Sidibe, Moukoudi, Vida, Mohammadi, Szymaniski, Gacinovic, Eliasson, Jonsson, Garcia & Ponce
Marseille
Marseille established a strong position in the group with their 3-1 home win vs AEK. The display was far from impressive for an hour though and only 2 late penalties and a red card for the away side brought this win.
At the weekend Marseille continued to struggle domestically. Only managed a 0-0 home draw vs Lille. The fans were angry after the match.
Marseille are yet to win an away game this season (D3 L4) in any competition. They already lost in Athens vs Panathinaikos in the Champions League play-offs.
Balerdi is back from a domestic ban and should start now. Vitinha also could start up front as veteran Aubameyang is in poor form. The only player that could be missing due to a health issue is rarely used anyway winger Ounahi.
Predicted Lineup:
Lopez (GK), Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Lodi, Rongier, Kondogbia, Ndiaye, Veretout, Harit & Vitinha
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Marseille
Player to Watch: Vitinha
Marseille’s front line has been misfiring all season. That said Vitinha already has 4 goals in all competitions and he scored in round 3 against AEK.
Vitinha is expected to start in the coming match and as he is also trying to earn more starts in Ligue 1 he will be eager to shine. He looked sharp in the first game between the sides and if he repeats that performance he will produce a major contribution.
