Aris Thessaloniki

vs

PAE APS Atromitos Athens

Preview

Aris

• Aris are unbeaten in three Super League 2026/2027 home games (W2, D1), allowing only three goals.
• The Yellow-Blacks are 5th in Super League 2026/2027 with 13 points from their opening seven games, while the visitors are 12th and have picked up just two points from their first six.
• Aris are coming off two consecutive wins, beating Volos NFC 3-2 at home and A.E. Kifisia F.C. 2-1 away, both in Super League 2026/2027.

Atromitos

• Atromitos are seeking their first away win in Super League 2026/2027 (D1, L2).
• The visitors are 12th and have picked up just two points from their first six.
• Atromitos have lost three in a row, with home and away defeats to A.E. Kifisia and Asteras Tripolis in 2026/2027.

Head-to-Head

• Aris have won three of the last five games between the two teams (1 draw, 1 loss) but the most recent meeting, in Super League 2024/2025, finished 1-1 at the Atromitos Stadium.
• Aris have won two of the last three home meetings, however, and should have the momentum to justify their odds for the win.

Key Players

Betting Insights

• The hosts are the clear favourites at 1.81 and that seems about right.
• Atromitos have scored just 0.67 goals per away game in Super League 2026/2027, so we are backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.71, which looks the better alternative wager, as opposed to a home win.

Prediction

• Dušan Kerkez keeps Atromitos compact in a 4-2-3-1 system that can transform into a 5-4-1 when required, with the Athenian side geared up for disciplined mid-block and counter-attacking football.
• The home side have a proactive pressing system, operating with a 4-2-3-1, so Michalis Grigoriou will have his players pressing high and trying to pin Atromitos back.
• Aris should edge it on home turf, so that will be our selection, but Atromitos are likely to be well set up for a compact and scrappy game.
