Manchester City slipped to their second defeat in three Champions League home games last week after being outclassed by defending champions PSG, but they responded on Saturday with a 3–2 Premier League win over Ipswich Town to steady things ahead of Tuesday’s fixture.
The Cityzens generally handle these matchups well. They’re unbeaten in their last 15 home games against clubs outside Europe’s top‑five leagues (W12, D3), a run stretching back to 2018, and they’ve never faced AEK Athens before.
City are also unbeaten — without conceding — in four prior meetings with Greek opposition (W3, D1). Enzo Maresca’s side are the heavy odds‑on favourites with William Hill.

AEK Athens arrive in England for the second straight week after a 3–1 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Shakhtar Donetsk left them with one win and one loss from their opening Champions League fixtures.
Their away record in this competition is a major concern: AEK are winless in 19 consecutive UCL away trip (D6, L13), and only one Greek side has ever won away at English opposition in the European Cup/UCL proper (D2, L17).
Defensive frailties add to the challenge. AEK have conceded 2+ goals in nine of their last ten Champions League away games, a trend that suggests another difficult night ahead. William Hill make the visitors 25/1 outsiders to pull off a shock.
