The Greek title race tightens as the Super League play-offs begin this weekend. AEK enters the opening round with a narrow advantage over rivals.

Title race and key matches

AEK leads the mini-league, while Olympiacos sit two points behind. A victory for Olympiacos would move them into first place.

The decisive meeting is at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium on Monday morning AEDT. The AEK and Olympiacos Clash in Thrilling Play-Off Opener will draw intense attention.

PAOK host Panathinaikos in another crucial fixture. PAOK dropped points after a surprise loss to Volos and now sit third.

Panathinaikos are seen as unlikely title contenders. They still have six play-off matches that could alter their final standing.

Battle for European spots

Levadiakos begins the fifth-to-eighth group with a five-point lead. They host Aris and will aim to protect that margin.

Aris chase the final European qualifying place. That spot depends partly on OFI not winning the Greek Cup.

OFI travel to face Volos early in the round. Both clubs know a winning start would boost their hopes of finishing fifth.

Relegation play-outs

Panserraikos and Asteras Tripolis start the relegation section on Sunday. Both clubs sit on 17 points and occupy the drop zone.

They trail Larissa by six points. Asteras host Larissa in a match described as a true six-pointer.

Panserraikos travel to Kifisia. The Serres side has collected eight points from their last five matches.

Panetolikos host Atromitos in the final relegation-round fixture. Both teams currently sit clear of the danger zone on points.
