Aris Thessaloniki vs Atromitos Athens
Aris Thessaloniki will host Atromitos in the quarter-finals of the Greek Cup this week. They were appointed as hosts in the first leg which was held at the Harilaou Kleanthis Stadium. The victory also became the main mission to make the second game easier.
Aris Thessaloniki just hosted Panionios in the 22nd week of the Super League last Sunday (2/2). They also won with a score of 2-0 through goals Bruno Gama (31 ‘) and Giannis Fetfatzidis (42’) to move up to the top 5, while keeping the unbeaten record at Kleanthis to 7 wins and 1 draw in various competitions since the end of October.
Meanwhile, Atromitos must admit defeat to AEK Athens on the same day. This time Nenad Krsticic’s single goal (64 ’) was enough to silence them at home so they had to go down to rank 8, while adding to the crisis of victory to 5 matches, 4 defeats, even without scoring at all.
That record makes Atromitos the underdog team in tomorrow’s match. However, they still have a chance to surprise Kleanthis after winning twice in the last four visits without defeat. So, Aris Thessaloniki still has to play vigilance even though in theory they should be able to win easily.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.50
