The 2026/27 UCL league phase continues on Wednesday as AEK Athens hosts Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are -425 favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook for this one, with a draw available at +600. Fancy an AEK Athens upset? The Greek side is +950 on the moneyline.
AEK Athens vs. Real Madrid Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Real Madrid are on fire at the moment and I fancy them to get a big win against AEK Athens on the road. Madrid have won six straight games in all competitions since their derby loss to Atlético Madrid on September 20th. Since then, they have outscored their opponents by a total of 18-6.
They are only three points off the lead in La Liga, and have won all three of their matches so far in the Champions League. In two of those three matches, five or more goals were scored. In the match that went under the four goal total, Madrid were 2-1 winners against Inter Milan. A win on Wednesday would guarantee that Los Blancos will sit at least fourth in the league phase table after matchweek four. Heading into this match, Madrid are currently fifth.
AEK Athens have had a rough start to their UCL campaign, winning one and losing two of their opening three matches. They had a tough outing in their last match against Man City, falling 5-1 in Manchester. In two of their three games, four or more goals have been scored. In the UCL table, they find themselves on the outside looking in as they sit in 27th place heading into this game.
Real Madrid are the better team here and their star attacking options such as Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomandé will be too much for AEK Athens to contain.
