AEK Athens form and stats

AEK Athens have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 24 points collected from 9 matches (8-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Ever since the Volos NFC game AEK Athens has been unbeatable here at OPEL ARENA producing eight straight wins.

Athens are returning here after visiting Panserraikos in a Greek Cup game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Ionikos and winning 2-1.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (20 in 9 games), AEK Athens's attacking play is working. AEK Athens have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only {3 goals}.

Aris form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Aris so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Aris has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, a Greek Cup home loss versus Olympiakos Piraeus with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Volos NFC in the Super League.

Highlight this: 9 of the latest 11 league fixtures involving this club have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Aris as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

These competitors have battled earlier this season: Aris - AEK Athens 0-2. Head to head data (for the last ten meetings): Athens won five games, one match ended with a tie and Aris got four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four.
