For the 18th game of the Greek Super League, Apollon Smyrnis welcomes Aris Thessaloniki.
Apollo also certified in Larissa last week the very good situation in which it has been for a long time. It prevailed over the Thessalian team with 1-0 and took a great scoring breath. He was little threatened by the home team throughout the match while he was quite effective and in the few phases he made in the opponent's home he found the winning goal in 73 ΄.
This was his 4th away victory in a total of 9 matches, it is characteristic that away he has much more points than inside, and in a total of 16 matches he has 18 points and is in 10th place in the standings.
In the middle of the week, having several changes in its composition, it was defeated for the Greek Cup by AEK with 2-0, a rematch follows at home.
Second home series for Aris, last Sunday was defeated by Panathinaikos 1-0. He conceded the goal with the completion of the first ten minutes of the match and then he was better and created many phases but something his failure something the very good night that the opposing goalkeeper found deprived him of the goal.
Now he fell back to 4th place in the standings with 33 points and saw PAOK and AEK overtake him in the standings.
On Wednesday for the first match of the round of 16 of the Cup, it prevailed in Thessaloniki of Asteras Tripolis with 2-0 and made a decisive step of qualifying for the next phase of the tournament.
Apollon is in good condition lately but at home while playing well does not get points easily. Aris, on the other hand, is coming from continuous negative results in the championship and is looking for a return to victories. I think we will see an open match with many phases as Apollon does not close and in combination with the need of Aris for victory to see many goals.
Proposal: Apollon Smyrni - Aris Over 2,5 goals with odds of 2.50
