Shamrock Rovers' Challenge
Shamrock Rovers kick off first at 5:45 pm in Athens. After tough games so far, their schedule remains demanding.
The FAI Cup final on Sunday is the main focus for manager Stephen Bradley, which will influence his lineup decisions.
"Bradley rotated his team for the game against Sparta Prague, anticipating the Cup semi-finals ahead."
Securing a double is a high priority for Bradley, something he has yet to achieve with the team.

AEK's Form
AEK recently scored six goals against Aberdeen and currently sit just behind PAOK and Olympiacos in their domestic league after nine matches.
