It can be stated, however, that things have so far been anything but smooth for the city dwellers, especially at home in the Spyros Louis. The Doppelkopfadler only won five of their ten home games in the league and just last week caught a 2-0 home defeat against PAS Giannina. Conversely, the guests from Thessaloniki only have two wins from the last six league games.

It could be correspondingly close in the chase duel, which is why we at AEK Athens avoid the tip on the outcome of the game against Aris Saloniki. Instead, we rely on two defensively strong teams to neutralize each other and score a maximum of two goals.

AEK Athens - Statistics and current form

In the summer of 2018, the AEK Athens surprisingly won the Greek championship. For the first time in 24 years, the Dikéfalos Aetós (in German: the double-headed eagle) was once again in first place in the final table and was able to secure the title for the twelfth time in the club's history.

Already in the following two seasons, however, the yellow-blacks had to give way to the Greek record champions Olympiacos Piraeus. In both seasons, the Thrylos were more than 20 points missing.

Already 32 goals from 20 league games

Currently, the men of coach Manolo Jiménez, who only took over as coach in the Greek capital at the end of December, have to make do with second place in the Super League, 14 points behind Olympiakos. A standing that must now be defended against Aris Saloniki.

The Doppelkopfadler, who celebrated a victory over VfL Wolfsburg in the Europa League playoffs in October, but then clearly failed as the group bottom in the preliminary round with five defeats, basically has a lot of offensive power. 32 goals marked the offensive in the previous 20 games.

Only a 1-0 away win at Aris Saloniki three weeks ago

Meanwhile, the problem is that Athens would keep Aris Saloniki at a distance with a draw. Then again, with PAOK Saloniki, the third party in the league would potentially be happy and pass both teams without further ado. So if the Jiménez-Elf want to remain the main pursuer of Olympiakos, a home win must be achieved.

Aris Saloniki - Statistics and current form


Three Greek championships have been recorded for Aris Saloniki so far, with the club, which is mostly overshadowed by city rivals PAOK Saloniki, last won the big title in 1946. Most recently, the Kitrinomavroi (in German: the yellow-blacks) only played in the country's second-highest division between 2016 and 2018.

After returning to the Super League, they established themselves again without any significant difficulties. Two times in a row they ended up in the top six of the league after a series of back and forth, thus avoiding the relegation round and instead took part in the championship round.

Participation in the championship round is as good as on dry cloth

The traditional club from Thessaloniki is currently back on track to end the regular season in the top six. With only six games left until the potential championship round, the lead on seventh place is a comfortable 14 points, which is why it shouldn't burn too much.

More points should be added, however, in order to have a slightly better starting position in the championship round, in which the Kitrinomavroi were mostly only points providers for the top teams in the last two seasons.

The second best defense in the Super League

The fact that it could be different this time is primarily due to their bombproof defense. Apostolos Mantzios' team had to accept just 13 goals in the first 20 match days. The club from Thessaloniki has the second best defense in the Super League behind high-flyer Olympiacos.

The away game in the capital could also lead to the defensive again. We expect the Kitrinomavroi, who have only won two of the last six league games, to be extremely defensive. This also clearly speaks in favor of using the odds for the bet on under 2.5 goals at AEK Athens against Aris Saloniki.
