Panathinaikos vs Aris Match Preview

Panathinaikos welcomes Aris for the 4th round of the Greek Super League playoffs.

Aris comes from one of their worst performances this season, suffering an embarrassing 3-1 ηομε defeat against AEK. In the first half, their defense totally collapsed and conceded 3 goals. The hosts tried to make a comeback in the game but only managed to score one goal in the second half.

The positive thing for the team is that they remain in the 2nd spot of the table with 54 points, 3 points ahead of third-placed PAOK.

Panathinaikos, on the other hand, faced Olympiakos in the previous round and suffered a 3-1 defeat as well. Their goalkeeper had a terrible performance and despite their good effort in the second half, they failed to get something positive out of this match.

The visitors remain at the 5th spot with a total of 49 points, having 2 points less than the fourth-placed AEK, but still, they have decent chances to get a European ticket next season.

The hosts have no room left for other mistakes, while Aris can be safe even with a draw here. Panathinaikos are usually strong at home, so I think they can get all three points here. The home side to win is my call for this one, offered at decent 2.65 odds.
