Aris Preview – Can Aris bounce back?
The hosts suffered a heavy 4-2 loss away from home at league leaders, Olympiakos, last time out in the Greek Super League, so Aris will no doubt be eager to return to winning ways when they play host to 8th placed Xanthi on Thursday night.
That recent defeat though has dropped Aris down to 6th place in the Super League ladder and they now occupy the last Championship Round spot and find themselves level on 26 points with both Atromitos and tonight’s visitors, Xanthi who are hot on their heels.
Prior to the Olympiakos result, Aris had put together a 4-match sequence without defeat which included recent wins against Volos and PAOK, while the bigger picture shows that the hosts have suffered just 2 defeats out of their last 13 matches overall in the Super League.
Nevertheless, despite them being hot favourites to win this upcoming clash, Aris have won by 2+ goals in just 1 of the last 11 meetings against Xanthi, so they may not get it all their own way in this encounter either.
Xanthi Preview – Can Xanthi prove stubborn opponents again?
Xanthi seem to be very much a side that tends to deal in either wins or losses so far in this Super League campaign as the visitors have won 8 and lost 9 within their total of 19 matches played so far in this season’s Greek top flight.
Inconsistency has been the feature of Xanthi’s season to date and recent results seem to confirm this as the visitors have gained wins over Larissa and Volos but have also fallen to defeats against Asteras Tripolis and Panathinaikos too.
Although Xanthi’s away record also reflects their inconsistent streak with stats of 4-0-5 8/16, they still possess the joint second highest number of away wins so far in the division this term, having registered wins at AEK Athens, Panaitolikos, Panathinaikos and Volos, so they’re capable of pulling off a result here too.
