Real Madrid will look to continue their perfect start to the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign when they travel to Greece to take on AEK Athens on Wednesday night.
Jose Mourinho's side have picked up nine points from their first three matches and sit fourth in the league phase heading into Wednesday's tie.
AEK Athens are 29th after collecting three points from three UEFA Champions League matches and they face an massive challenge this midweek.

AEK Athens v Real Madrid Prediction
Best Bet: Real Madrid and both teams to score @ 6/5
Real Madrid come into this tie as the overwhelming favourites and they should have no issue collecting all three points.
Mourinho's men have won six games in a row and nine of their last 10 in all competitions.
AEK Athens have seen their form fall off a cliff in recent weeks, with the Greek giants losing four of their last five games.
Two of those defeats came in the UEFA Champions League against FC Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City and they have yet to prove they can compete at a high level.
While the visitors should record a routine away win, the hosts should be able to get on the scoresheet.
Marko Nikolic's side have won seven games in a row at home, scoring 30 goals in that time.
Real Madrid have only kept three clean sheets in 14 games in all competitions and it would not be a shock to see AEK Athens grab a consolation goal.
Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 Real Madrid goals @ 8/13
AEK Athens' dip in form could not have come at a worse time, and Real Madrid should be able to take full advantage.
The Greek side have conceded 13 in their last four defeats and Los Blancos have the attacking talent needed to punish them.
Mourinho's troops have scored six in a row and netted 18 times, while they have won by at least three goals in three of their last four outings.
Real have scored four goals in three of their last five and they should have no issues adding to the 10 goals they have already scored in the competition.
AEK Athens v Real Madrid Bet Builder Tip
Yan Diomande to score or assist
Kylian Mbappe to score
Razvan Marin 2+ fouls committed
Jude Bellingham 3+ fouls won
Pays 29/10
Real Madrid will once again lean on the talent they have in the final third. Forward Yan Diomande has scored three goals and added three assists in his last five appearances in all competitions.
Team-mate Kylian Mbappe has scored 15 goals already this season and he will look to score for the sixth game in succession, having netted seven in five appearances.
AEK Athens' Razvan Marin should be involved in the thick of the action, having conceded two or more fouls in each of his four starts in the UEFA Champions League.
One man who could be on the end of one of his challenges is Jude Bellingham. The England international has been fouled 40 times already this season and he has been fouled at least three times in five of his last seven appearances.
