AEK Athens are having a rough time right now. They have not won any of their last five matches, losing three of them and drawing twice, and some of those defeats were heavy. Panathinaikos are also struggling badly, with three straight losses, though they did manage a win just before that poor run. So both teams come into this game out of form and low on confidence.

When these two have met recently, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several goalless draws and narrow results. Neither side looks sharp enough right now to take control, so this one feels very even and could easily end level. A draw seems the most likely outcome.
