AEK vs Aris Match Preview

AEK face Aris at the Olympic Stadium in Athens as part of the eighth game of the Greek Super League. There will be more than 35.000 fans.

An impressive positive start for Argyris Giannikis on the bench of AEK, the two-headed team had two in two as they prevailed with 3-0 at Atromitos while in the most recent match they won with 1-3 Volos away from home. After seven games they are just one point short from the first place. Very good start for the Swiss midfielder Steven Zuber who contributes the most to the team.

The appealing AEK have quality and experience, with most players having a great football personality. Sergio Araujo will play at the top of the attack, while behind him in the role of organizer is Petros Mandalos. Costas Galanopoulos remains out, as D. Jevtić, N. Amrabat and L. Garcia are also out of the squad.

On the other hand, Aris traveled to Athens with the goal of a positive result. They come from an imposing appearance and a wide victory over Panetolikos with 5-1. This was their fourth victory in the last five games. They are low in the standings as they carry a six-point penalty which thery are trying to get back to appeal at CAS.

The team of Thessaloniki is on the rise, with Akis Mantzios trying to make the best for the team as several additions and subtractions have been made to the roster. The injured Dimitris Manos and Mohanad Ali are out of the squad.

This is a match between two teams that are in good condition. AEK have tremendous quality and experience and I expect that they will dominate at OAKA over Aris which, although coming from victories, these were not against top level opponents. I expect that AEK will start the game strongly from the beginning. The halftime victory for AEK is offered at very appealing odds.
