It's looking good for Panathinaikos so far, with their 1st place in the Super League table and anticipating the visit of Aris (who are in 5th).

Insights:
  • Panathinaikos have the fewest conceded goals (12) in Super League
  • Aris have the most matches over the total-line (22) in Super League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Panathinaikos form and stats

Panathinaikos have performed here at Stadio Apóstolos Nikolaidis this season with 10 wins from 13 Super League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Two draws in a row at home now for Panathinaikos.

No payout for Panathinaikos in their previous match, an away game at Olympiakos Piraeus that ended in defeat 0-1. This team delivered a 14 league matches long run without a defeat before that game!

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus PAOK.

Panathinaikos are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 9 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 8, drew 1 and lost 0.

It should be added that a peek at the 20 most recent league matches reveals that 17 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Panathinaikos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. As for guarding their own goal, Panathinaikos have only let in {6 goals} at home.

Aris form and stats

Aris have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Super League, after 3-2-8 (13 played).

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus AEK Athens with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Attacker García got a player rating of 7.74 in the game. "Man of the match" García hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 37 successful passes (of 45 total).

Before that, Aris secured a home win against Volos NFC with the score 4-2.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 13 of this club's 14 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.

The attacking power of Aris when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 15 goals have been conceded by Aris in these games.

Head 2 Head

The 4 most recent fixtures featuring these two teams have all ended as Panathinaikos victories. Surely both teams are aware of this.

As it happens, Aris have found the net in every league game they've had since failing to score against today's home team; the Aris - Panathinaikos 0-1 match seven game weeks ago. The match official brandished his red card when these clubs last faced each other, and the criminal was Kamara (Aris). The matches between these clubs have had a tendency to be hostile, having seen 7 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
