Como on top, with Anastasios Douvikas our likeliest to test the keeper.
Our model gives Como a 63% chance of winning this Champions League game. A AEK Athens win is 17% and a draw 20%. Our predicted score is Como 2–1 AEK Athens (10%), though no one exact score is likely on its own. We expect 3.4 goals in total: 2.3 for Como and 1.1 for AEK Athens. Both sides are more likely than not to score (60%) and three or more goals is 65%.
In their last six games Como have five wins, no draws and one defeat, while AEK Athens have two wins, no draws and four defeats. Como lost their most recent match and AEK Athens won theirs. We expect Como to have 17.9 shots (4.9 on target) and AEK Athens 9.5 (2.7 on target), and corners at 5.5 to 2.6. That points to Como doing more of the attacking.
Nico Paz (Como) is the player we expect to shoot most, with 3.7 shots if they start. Anastasios Douvikas (Como) leads for shots on target, at 1.1. Jayden Addai of Como is the most booked player in either squad, once every 2 games in 2025/26. For Bawler's pick we have gone with Como or Draw, Como Over 13.5 Shots and Anastasios Douvikas 1+ Shot on Target. The chance all three land is 47% on our numbers, so the fair price is 11/10, or 2.12.
