Asteras Tripolis is eleventh in the Greek Super League, but still has realistic chances of participating in the championship round.

In the last six league games, Asteras Tripolis only suffered two defeats. The Arkádes had to accept both defeats away from home. With an away record of 1-2-8, Asteras is anyway the third weakest guest team in the Super League. Only the match at the bottom of Panionios has been won so far.
The Arkádes therefore faces a very difficult task in the cup. In the first leg, Asteras Tripolis was still an equal opponent, but missed the home win after a missed penalty by Jerónimo Barrales. To move into the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup, Asteras Tripolis in Athens needs an away win or a goal-rich draw. Dani Suarez and Eneko Capilla will miss the away game in Athens.
