AEK and Olympiacos will compete for the 12th time in the semi-final phase of the Greek Cup!

We will watch two big derbies between AEK and Olympiakos for the semi-finals of this year’s Cup, with Union passing the Panserraikos hurdle with ease and Olympiakos struggling a lot, but getting the qualification against the fighting Aris.

This will be the 12th time that AEK and Olympiacos will face each other one step before the grand final and sport-fm.gr reminds you of their previous meetings in the semi-finals of the competition!

The beginning was made 1939when AEK had qualified with 2-0 on paper, after the match that had been held at “Karaiskakis” had been stopped in the 40′ and with Union in front of the score with 2-1, after an Olympiakos player refused to leave after his dismissal.

The 1948 AEK had triumphed with 4-0 at “Apostolos Nikolaidis”, while they got a big qualification with a 4-1 victory a year later, with Olympiacos getting their blood back the 1952when they prevailed 2-0 at “Nikos Goumas”.

The next meeting between the two teams in the Cup semi-finals was held on 1968 with Olympiakos winning 2-1, while the “red and white” qualified and the 1976, when they won 3-2. The Union also dominated the 1978when he defeated Piraeus 6-1, while 15 years later (1993) in a double semi-final, Olympiacos needed overtime to qualify (1-0 first leg, 3-2 in overtime the second).

The 1997 AEK celebrated qualification with two victories (2-1 at home and 1-0 away), the 2005 the “red and whites” went to extra time (1-0 away and 2-1 in extra time away), while their most recent meeting in the semi-finals of the Cup came in 2017when AEK qualified thanks to the away goals rule (2-1 away win and 1-0 home loss).

In total, AEK qualified in six of their meetings, while Olympiacos celebrated in five of them.
