Season ticket holders at Stadio Theodoros Kolokotronis haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Asteras Tripolis languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Aris will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Aris could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Greek Cup game only three sleeps ago.
Aris are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Asteras Tripolis form and stats
Asteras Tripolis have collected 20 points from their Super League home games so far after 6-2-3. Ever since the Olympiakos Piraeus game Asteras Tripolis has been unbeatable here at Stadio Theodoros Kolokotronis producing four straight wins.
Asteras Tripolis's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Panaitolikos (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting AEK Athens (0-2).
A late climax in the match against Panaitolikos as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Miloš Deletić.
This is expected to be a close game, with Asteras Tripolis perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Asteras Tripolis as a small favourite), we find one game. Asteras Tripolis has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost one.
The Asteras Tripolis fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 11 league matches. Asteras Tripolis have conceded 14 in these home matches.
Aris form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Aris so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-4 (win-draw-lose). Aris seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Aris played 0-0 against Atromitos in their previous match. Before that, Aris secured a home win against Panionios with the score 2-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Aris in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Aris, two draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aris manager M. Oenning as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Atromitos.
The attacking power of Aris when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Aris have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
