PAOK vs Aris Prediction: PAOK are the ruler of Thessaloniki

In the 6th round of the Greece Super League, we will see a city derby between PAOK and Aris. The difference between these teams is bigger than ever, PAOK are champions and leaders of the table while Aris are struggling in the middle of the table. As always, we can expect a tense city derby at the hot Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki.

PAOK are in first place with 4 wins, a draw, and a goal difference of 11:4. They are certainly the biggest favorite for the trophy this season as well, and the only thing that can distract them before this match in the match against FCSB in the Europa League. They were defeated by Galatasaray in the first match in the Europa League and now will try to bounce back. This match against city rivals shouldn’t be a very difficult challenge for them considering the current situations in both teams.

Aris finally won two matches in a row, one in the league against Olympiakos and one in the Cup against E. Piraeus. A win against the champion and their greatest rival can be a turning point for them this season. They are in 6th place with 8 points, 2 wins, 2 draws and a defeat. In the last round, they surprised Olympiakos and won 2:1, and it gave them a lot of confidence, but this match has a different meaning for these teams. In the last match against PAOK in this stadium Aris won 0:1.

In the last 5 meetings, each team has 2 wins and one match ended in a draw. PAOK are having a very busy schedule and it can have some effect on their performances, while Aris are fully focused on the league. I expect a very tough and tense match, and I think that PAOK will do everything to win this match after their heavy defeat against Galatasaray in the Europa League.
