AEK Athens host LASK at the Allwyn Arena in Athens in a Champions League fixture that pits two sides who have hit the ground running this season.

Marko Nikolic's side come into this match in strong domestic form, with a 5-0 demolition of Aris Thessaloniki their most recent statement. They backed that up with a comfortable 4-0 win over Levski Sofia in Champions League qualification, signalling their readiness for European competition at this level.

LASK arrive in Greece with momentum of their own. Dietmar Kuehbauer's squad produced one of the results of the qualification rounds when they beat Celtic 5-1, and they have since posted back-to-back wins in the Austrian Bundesliga to keep their rhythm sharp.

Both clubs sit level on the Champions League standings heading into this contest, making the points on offer all the more meaningful.

AEK Athens have won four of their last five matches, drawing once, and have scored 16 goals across that run while conceding just one.

The only dropped points came in a 1-1 draw with Kifisia.

LASK have won four of their last five matches as well, with their sole defeat a 3-0 loss to Celtic in the first leg of their qualification tie.

Their most recent outing was a 6-1 cup win over Deutschlandsberger SC.

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
