Super League
Aris is sixth in the standings and lags behind their city rival and the top spots by a significant amount of points. However, form often doesn't matter in these derbies, and besides, Aris performs steadily at their stadium, despite the fact that six out of their nine home games ended in draws. Since August, they have not lost on their home ground. Seven of those nine home games had under 2.5 goals.
PAOK is two points from the top, but they have one game less than the leader Olympiacos. At the same time, they continue to fight on three fronts, having beaten Panathinaikos 1-0 away in the cup during the week. Since the start of the season, they have only two losses in the league, but both came away from home, and now they face another tricky away match.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsAlthough PAOK is again the favorite in the derby, we have seen many times in recent years that this does not matter in these clashes, where it is almost always very difficult to determine a winner. I expect this to be the case again, and Aris will not give in easily, which will likely lead to not many goals in the match.
