Less than 24 hours remain before the big match between second division (Football League) AEK Athens and first division (Super League) Olympiakos Piraeus for the Greek Cup quarter final second leg, which will be held in Athens’ Olympic Stadium, the home ground for AEK. 70,000 tickets have already been sold out and AEK supporters are expected to create a unique atmosphere in what is seen as a derby from the past, since AEK has not faced fierce rivals Olympiakos for more than two years, as it was relegated to the country’s third division in the 2012-2013 season. The first leg between the two teams, held in Karaiskakis stadium on February 11, resulted in an 1-1 draw giving trophy-thirsty AEK a slight lead for the qualification to the semi final. Iraklis and Apollon Smyrni have already secured their participation to the semi finals, along with Skoda Xanthi.
