Conference League: AEK Athens – Aberdeen 23/10/2025

Asian handicap betting

The Conference League is still building its own reputation in terms of a European competition, and it has been seen as a bit of a 2nd class competition by many. However West Ham and Chelsea have celebrated their wins with some gumption and there are plenty of ties that this throws up that are well worth a look. That is certainly true of this tie between two historical European heavyweights. Aberdeen won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup back in 1983 and the Scottish Premier League in 1985 but have not really achieved much in either of those competitions since then. That is not something that looks set to change this year, either, sadly for Aberdeen fans. Form has taken an upturn with 2 recent wins in the league but before that they lost 5 of 6, got knocked out of the League Cup and have lost 2 of 3 European games, which landed them in the Conference League after a loss in the Europa League Playoffs.

AEK Athens are in vastly better form with 5 wins from 6 in the Greek league and only one loss in all competitions. That includes winning 3 2 leg matches to get to the group stage of this competition, including an impressive 2-0 home win over Anderlecht. Keep your eye on Dereck Kutesa or Haitian Frantzdy Pierrot as first goalscorer bets for the Greek side.

A trip to Greece is generally one of the hardest tasks in European football and I can not see Aberdeen getting anything in Athens. Back the Greeks to win with some ease here and give them a 2 goal head start to ensure you get worthwhile odds. This can be done at just under 1.90 with 20Bet.
