AEK is all set for the new challenge. At 19:45, in their packed home stadium, they take on Crystal Palace. This is the second leg of a 0-0 draw from last week in London. The winner gets a spot in the Conference League quarter-finals.
“We aren’t scared of the English team; it all depends on the players,” said Spanish coach Ivan Rothada of the yellow-greens at yesterday’s press conference.
Valentin Roberge is expected to play, bringing valuable experience to the defense. He missed recent matches due to injury.
More than 7,000 fans are expected to fill “AEK Arena.” The match starts at 19:45 and will be shown live on RIK.
