Head-to-Head
Aris Thessaloniki have 14 wins and Asteras Tripolis have three in the last 23 meetings of these clubs in all competitions.
Asteras Tripolis
- Asteras Tripolis have been a different proposition since Chris Coleman took over in October 2025 and the boss has made them compact, difficult to break down and much more positive going forward with his 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 system.
- The Welshman’s team are still hovering just above the relegation zone, but have produced crucial draws and a key win at Atromitos.
- Asteras have been defensively solid under Chris Coleman, drawing three and keeping one shut-out in their last five Super League matches.
- The hosts have 13 points from 14 league games.
Aris Thessaloniki
- Aris Thessaloniki have taken 16 points from 13 Super League games and are still in the chase for the European places.
- Aris should win this match and have the quality in the squad to do it, but they have been inconsistent since the opening weeks of the 2025-2026 season.
- They had a narrow win over Larissa last weekend, but prior to that had drawn with Asteras and Olympiacos and suffered defeats to AEK and PAOK in their previous five league outings.
Key Players
- Monchu is the pivot around whom everything is built and will dictate the tempo on Saturday, while Carles Pérez, back from a summer injury scare, brings creativity and width.
- Federico Macheda remains Asteras’ main attacking threat and, leading their scoring charts, he is their top scorer.
- Nikolaos Kaltsas is their creator and they lack the end product when they don’t get forward in numbers, so look to him and the set-piece specialists to fashion something if they are to grab the deciding goal.
Betting Insights
- Aris are higher in the table, but the odds of 2.57 about them to win is a shade on the short side.
- Asteras are available at 2.86 with the draw at 3.0 and we’re going to edge towards the draw or an away win here because of the form and position in the Super League table.
- Both Teams To Score looks good at 1.87, but the Under 2.5 goals at 1.62 price seems more in line with what we expect in what should be a tense and cagey affair between two sides that like to play soccer.
Prediction
A draw or Aris win looks the most likely outcome, given the recent form of both clubs, with 1-1 the preferred correct score bet.
