The visiting Aris side should be favourites in this visit to Apollon Smirnis, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
- Apollon Smirnis have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Aris has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Super League
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 Apollon and Aris.
Apollon Smirnis form and stats
Apollon Smirnis's results here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Game days at Stadio Georgios Kamaras have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Apollon Smirnis as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The fans are hoping that Apollon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Greek Cup game against AEK Athens (placed 2nd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Larissa and winning 1-0.
Apollon are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Lamia awaits in four days.
Apollon has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Apollon Smirnis are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 7 played).
Aris form and stats

F. Bertoglio was the last player to score for the away team. Aris haven't scored a league goal in the last 279 minutes.
Aris are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Greek Cup against Asteras Tripolis (placed 6th). A loss against Panathinaikos was the result prior to that, in a Super League home game.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Larissa in just three days.
Aris are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Aris are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 4 away goals have been conceded so far.
