Aris vs Panathinaikos Match Preview

Aris didn't make a good start this season. First, Molde eliminated them from the Europa League qualifiers, followed by two negative results in the Greek League. They played a 1-1 home draw with OFI in their opening game that was followed by a 1-0 loss at Volos. After these outcomes, their coach Savvas Pantelidis was sacked and now the management is searching for his substitute. In the game against Panathinaikos, they will search for their first win with a caretaker manager on their bench.

Panathinaikos disappointed their fans in the first two rounds of the Greek Supr League. Although they got one point after their draw in Lamia, their home game against OFI in OAKA was a disaster. Their performance was poor so the 'Greens' suffered a deserved 3-1 loss and their fans were frustrated. Now there's no room for mistakes, they have to search for the three-pointer against Aris, since their upcoming clash is more demanding, against title contenders Olympiakos.

Both teams didn't have a good start this season and whichever loses this one, will stay early away from the top-5 places. Aris could have more than one point so far. They are always strong at their home. On the other hand, Panathinaikos had high ambitions in this season but their journey is just a disappointment so far. Both teams have to search for their first three-pointer in this one. Although their attacking lines are effective so far, they concede goals with ease. Over 2.5 goals is my call.
