It's fixture two of the 1. Division campaign and all to play for. Don't miss our exhaustive preview of Aris-Olympiakos!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Aris form and stats
In the previous season, Aris's league results were 10 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, providing 5th spot in the 1. Division. In these 22 matches they scored 23 goals and gave away 20. Playing as the home side in the former season Aris produced 5-2-4 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 10 conceded. Aris have only played one 1. Division game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 5 matches.
A nice win for Aris last time playing, versus AEL. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Babicka, Mayambela and Yago scoring for the victors. The victory against AEL came after Babicka's winning goal. The Aris manager Shpilevskiy was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Neftci in the Europa Conference League. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Aris have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 0 and lost 0.
Aris has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Olympiakos form and stats
Let's have a look at how Olympiakos performed last season in the 1. Division: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 7 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 14 and conceded 23 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 3 and lost 7 with 4/13 goals scored/conceded.
Olympiakos failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Anorthosis (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Omonia Nicosia that ended 1-1.Olympiakos are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.
