Aris
- Aris have been solid but unspectacular under coach Michalis Grigoriou since he took over in February 2026.
- His side have shown defensive solidity, but a lack of ‘bite’ up front has meant they have drawn four and only won one of their last five Super League games.
- Aris are more likely to control the ball and dictate the tempo in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation with Monchu at the hub of midfield.
OFI
- OFI are a more open, end-to-end team that can score multiple goals - particularly when they are chasing a match, as they did in a 3-2 win.
- OFI boss Christos Kontis likes to set his side up to be compact, controlling the ball when they can and always ready to spring forward on the counterattack.
- OFI’s best games have been those in which they have been able to sit deep and then push forward in numbers, using their pace and strength to create chances.
Head-to-Head
- Aris sit sixth in the Super League on 28 points from 22 games, clinging on to a playoff place by three points.
- OFI have won three of the last five games between these clubs across all competitions, including a 3-0 home victory in October 2025, while Aris have won only once.
Key Players
- Eddie Salcedo leads the line well and is OFI’s leading scorer, but it is Borja González and Nikolaos Athanasiou who provide the most creativity and goals from wide and defensive positions.
- Taxiarchis Fountas and Thiago Nuss also offer pace and creativity and Nuss is among the league's top assist providers.
- Loren Morón has scored some crucial goals for Aris in tight games like this, and is probably their most likely source of a goal on Sunday.
- Álvaro Tejero and Fabiano Leismann are the anchors of the defence and they both contribute from set-pieces.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make Aris the clear favorites for this clash at 1.6 with OFI5.3 outsiders and the draw priced at 3.65.
- Under 2.5 goals appeals at 1.77 with the draw or a one-goal win for the hosts the most likely result.
Prediction
- OFI have conceded at least two goals in three of their last five away games in all competitions, so our belief is that this will be a tight, low-scoring game.
- Aris' home-field advantage and solid defence should see them through, but OFI have the quality in attack to score a goal and the game could go either way.
