Goal Statistics

AEK Athens's defensive record is very strong, M. Nikolić's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Europa Conference matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Celje makes sense in this context.

AEK Athens have been steady in front of goal of late, finding the net in 10 consecutive Europa Conference matches. Their PG of 1.7 against Celje on Thursday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
