Royal Antwerp vs. AEK Athens

A Champions League playoff round in Belgium. AEK Athens was the top team in the Greek Super League 1 last season whipping opponents 69-17 in 36 matches. The defense has allowed just 6 goals in its last 12 road games. They come off a 2-2 tie versus Dinamo Zagreb. Royal Antwerp can also play great defense allowing two goals in four Belgian Pro League games, the second-fewest. During last year's regular season, they had the No. 1 defense (26 goals allowed in 34 matches). Royal Antwerp has home field but is dealing with several injuries. Centre-back Bjorn Engels has an Achilles injury, star striker Vincent Janssen came out of the last game with a late injury, and two goalkeepers won't play in Ortwin De Wolf (finger) and Davino Verhulst (eye). All of which makes this an even game with a tie real possibility. Take Royal Antwerp/AEK Athens to DRAW.
