Olympiacos and Aris will battle for three points in a Greek Super League round 18 clash on Saturday (January 11th). The game will be played at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
The home side will be looking to build on the 2-0 away win they registered over Panetolikos on New Year's day. Ayoub El Kaabi broke the deadlock in first half injury time while Aris were reduced to 10 men following Facundo Perez' 51st-minute dismissal. Chiquinho doubled his side's advantage with 20 minutes left on the clock.
Aris, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to OFI Crete. Borja Gonzalez and Andrew Jung scored second half goals to help the visitors leave with all three points.
The defeat left the Thessaloniki outfit in fifth spot in the league table, having garnered 27 points from 17 games. Olympiacos sit at the summit with 37 points to their name.
Olympiacos hold a two-point advantage at the summit of the standings as they aim to win a first league title since 2022. Jose Luis Mendilibar's side are on a positive run of form and are the favorites to claim the win.
Aris are winless in their last five away games, losing the last four on the bounce. Furthermore, they are without an away win in this fixture since January 2002.
Six of the last seven games between these two sides have seen both sides find the back of the net. We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
