Aris vs AEK Athens Prediction: Tense feelings in Thessaloniki

A derby in Thessaloniki awaits us in the last round of the regular season in the Greece Super League. It’s not the fiercest of derbies in Greece, but when a team from Thessaloniki and Athens are playing, the atmosphere gets hot. Aris will welcome AEK Athens in a match that doesn’t have any important significance, as Aris will play in the Conference group, and at the same time, AEK Athens will continue in the Champions group.

Aris are very good this season, but they are still below the top four in Greece. This season they were really close to getting in the Champions group and pushing out PAOK out of it, but they didn’t have the strength in some important matches. They are in fifth place with 41 points, and they can’t move up or down after this round. In the last five matches in the league, they have three wins, a draw, and a defeat. At this stadium they have eight wins, two draws and two defeats, and they are always a tough opponent when playing in front of their fans. In the last round they drew against Volos away, in a match in which they were unlucky to win even though they were a better opponent.

A win in this match will mean a lot to everyone in AEK Athens and their fans. They suffered two heavy defeats in a short period against their biggest and fiercest rival, Olympiakos. In the semi-final of the national cup, they were humiliated in Piraeus and lost 6:0 while last week they suffered defeat in the league at home 1:0 with a late goal in the 90th minute. AEK Athens are second in the table but they are five points behind Olympiakos, and now the league will become even more difficult and matches will become tougher. In this match they will be without Jonsson and Pinedda due to accumulated yellow cards.

Expert Betting Tips

Aris don’t know for a win against AEK Athens in the last 13 meetings between them, and I don’t think that it will change after this match. AEK Athens are like a wounded beast and will try to win in Thessaloniki to show to their fans and everyone else that defeats against Olympiakos were coincidence. I think that both teams will play a little relaxed as the regular season is ending, and I think that both will score a goal. I can see AEK Athens winning the match and the final result to be over three goals.

Our prediction for the match is for both teams to score, for the odds of 2 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is over 2.5 goals for odds of 2.1 at Bet365.

Our third prediction – W2 and over 2.5 for odds of 2.8 at Betway.
