AEK Athens welcome Universitatea Craiova in a clash that looks heavily tilted in the hosts’ favour. Therefore, we predict a 2-0 home win. AEK are on a perfect five-game winning run, averaging 2.6 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.5, with clean sheets in 60% of those games. Their home performances remain particularly solid, supported by an impressive 2.49 expected goals and only 0.64 xGA at the OPAP Arena. Defender James Penrice could miss out, but his absence is unlikely to disrupt a settled side firing at both ends of the pitch.
Craiova, meanwhile, are struggling badly. They are winless in their last three outings, collecting just 0.33 points per game, and conceding 2.0 goals per match. Defensive issues are clear, with no clean sheets and a 100% BTTS rate, while their attacking potential remains modest despite consistently finding the net. Against an AEK side that press aggressively and dominate territory, the visitors may spend long spells on the back foot.
Given AEK's dominant form and defensive edge, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, Under 3.5 goals and AEK to Win to Nil.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 18 December 2025 at 17:45.
