League round two of the 1. Division campaign and the participants have learned from the first fixture. Here's the ultimate Aris - AEL pre-match guide:
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning more tension and importance.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Aris and AEL.
Aris form and stats
The season before, Aris's league stats were 10 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, ending with 5th place in the 1. Division. In these 22 matches they scored 23 goals and let in 20. Appearing as the home side in the last season Aris managed 5-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 10 conceded. The hosts won their first 1. Division game here at Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Aris last season were 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses from 5 games.
Aris's last game was hosting AEL (placed 12th) and winning 2-1.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Neftci in the Europa Conference League.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Aris at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
AEL form and stats
Let's have a look at how AEL performed last season in the 1. Division: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 7 victories, 4 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 26 and conceded 28 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 3 and lost 6 with 11/17 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the 1. Division ended in defeat. Last season AEL had these away match statistics: Played 5; won 4, drew 0 and lost 1.
AEL lost away at Aris (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Ethnikos Achna at their stadium, the result 2-1.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by AEL in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for AEL, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
It's early days yet, but AEL has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Aris - AEL 2-1 was the score in these contenders' last h2h match, earlier this season. Aris-AEL H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Aris two wins, AEL six wins, two draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
