Motivational and risky picks with PAOK, AEK Athens, Inter, the (G/G) in Nottingham-City and the parlay!

Sunday... with very important and big matches. Within the borders we have the derby between Aris Limassol and AEK Athens. In the Super League play-offs, AEK hosts already champion Olympiacos and PAOK plays at home against Panathinaikos.
The second semi-final of the FA Cup between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City takes place today.
These and more, we'll look at them in more detail below...

Below you can see all the action in detail:

NOTTINGHAM FOREST-MANCHESTER CITY (18:30)
To see which of the two teams will qualify for the grand final of this year's FA Cup. However, if you watched this pair in previous seasons, we would say that super favourites are of course City. But in football the facts are constantly changing. This year's Nottingham are driving people crazy with their performances and are challenging for a place in the top five leading to the Champions League and barring the unexpected, they will realise their goal. City on the other hand have been truly unrecognisable this season, they were left out of title contention early on and are also struggling to secure a place in the new Champions League. We mention all this to emphasize that tonight's game is a derby and it could be a big battle for qualification.

ARIS LIMASSOL - AEK LARNACAS (19:00)
The defeat at the GSP by APOEL was a damning defeat for Aris and the title train is gone for good. Now the "Light Brigade" will try to lock the 2nd place. They can't achieve anything else this season, after being eliminated from the Cup as well. On the other hand, AEK Athens, after the 1-1 draw with Omonia last week, basically clinched the 3rd place, which was their remaining goal in the league. Let's not forget that the Larnaca side will face Omonia again in a few nights for the Cup semi-finals. Henning Berg, presumably, will also make changes to the starting lineup, resting some key players.

INTER-ROMA (19:00)
Very interesting game between two very good teams. It is a reality that Inter is of higher quality and superior to this year's Roma, but that doesn't mean they will win tonight's derby. The hosts are in contention for the title again this year and their goal is to celebrate the championship for the second year in a row. Let's not forget that they are also in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they will face Barcelona. On the other hand, Roma, with the arrival of the highly experienced Claudio Ranieri, have improved tremendously and are in contention for a top six spot leading up to the... European Cups next season.

AEK ATHENS - OLYMPIACOS (20:00)
If AEK Athens wants to hope for the second place leading to the Champions League, it is necessary to return to winning against Olympiacos, who are indifferent in terms of points. Matias Almeida's team forgot... when they haven't won in the league competition and are constantly disappointing their fans. AEK has three defeats in as many games in the play-offs, and they have a mediocre performance. The two teams also had a meeting last week with Olympiacos winning (1-0).Maybe the Easter holiday break was good for AEK and we will see tonight. Olympiacos is now already the champion and will play to the end without stress.

PAOK - PANATHINAIKOS (20:00)
The two teams will meet again, this time in Toumba. Last matchday, the one who smiled was PAO, who won 3-1 and moved up to 2nd place on their own and now have a head start for the... Champions League. For PAOK to have any hope for that privileged position, it is imperative that they win tonight's derby or else they will be playing in the Confederations League. On the other hand, PAOK, with a possible double, takes another step towards realizing their goal. Maybe a draw will be convenient for the "greens" in the end, but it also depends on the result of the other match we analyzed above.
