This could be an interesting match as Aris have their presumed home advantage while AEK Athens are ahead 11 points in the Super League table.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Greek Cup match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Atromitos, so at least Aris are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

AEK Athens is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
