June 2024 ยท 4 minute read

AEK Athens will host Olympique Marseille at the AEK Arena on Thursday in another round of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League group stage campaign.

The home side have had mixed results in the continental showpiece so far, dropping off the pace after a shock 3-2 away victory over Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion on matchday one. They played out a 1-1 draw against struggling Ajax in their second group game before losing 3-1 to the Olympians last time out.

AEK Athens sit third in the group standings with four points from three games. They are just one point behind their midweek opponents at the top of the pile and will leapfrog them with a win on Thursday.

Olympique Marseille, meanwhile, kicked off their Europa League campaign with entertaining draws against Ajax and Brighton. They then picked up their first win of the tournament last time out with a largely comfortable victory over their Greek counterparts, featuring goals from three different players including Amine Harit and Jordan Veretout, who both netted from the spot.
