AEK are doing great in defense now. Their Slovenian coach has a recognizable style with defense-oriented defense. The team from Athens doesn't let go for 40 minutes. They conceded less points in the second half than in the first half on average. They played 4 official games so far. They first limited Koroivos to 57 in the Cup to win by 41. In the championship, they beat Apollon by 18 (limited them to 59). They limited Lavri home to 56 (won by 40), Szolnoki to 49 (+43) on Tuesday. They didn't let go in the second half as they allowed only 24 points, one less than in the first half. AEK have enough players, Zdovc uses a lot of them and it's no surprise their intensity doesn't drop as the game advances.
They will play Kymis who hit 93 points in the first round against Koroivos home. They won that by 23 but Koroivos aren't a representative team. They are among the main contenders for the relegation. They play fast and offense-oriented game. On the defensive end, they are very weak. They hit 69 points in the second round against Lavri, 62 in the Cup QFs against Aris. In preseason and earlier Cup stages, Kymis went over this margin but no opponents they played got even close to AEK defense-wise. Maybe only the AEK from Cyprus games can be compared. Kymis hit 71 and 64 points. They also played Panathinaikos and got limited to 59.
