After two defeats in a row against the biggest rivals Panathinaikos and AEK, Olympiakos will welcome Aris on 03.04.2024 at 19:00 in Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. The hosts are under huge pressure to win in the league, but Aris can’t be underestimated, especially now when they are playing without any pressure.

In the previous round of the Greek Champions League, AEK beat city rival Olympiakos with a score of 1:0 and took over the top of the Greek championship. The winning goal came in stoppage time and was scored by Swedish winger Niclas Eliasson, thus bringing the Athens club a big three points. Olympiakos were the better opponent for most of the match, but they failed to score from their chances, and in the end, they were punished. Olympiakos are in 4th place with 47 points, 8 points less than the leader AEK.

Aris defeated Lamia 3-1 in the last round. Mahomed Sulejmanov put the home team in the lead in the 55th minute, Manu Garcia made it 2-0 just a minute later, Jakub Brabec scored the third goal in the 59th minute, while Vasilis Kontonikos made the final 3-1 in the 89th minute. Aris showed that they are a class better team than Lamia, but still, they are not on the same level as AEK, PAOK, or Olympiakos.

After two defeats in a row, Olympiakos are in a must-win situation in the league. Aris aren’t an easy challenge, they know how to play against stronger teams, but Olympiakos’ advantage will be a full home stadium. In their last 5 matches, Olympiakos won 3 times, once Aris, and one match ended in a draw. The last time Aris won in this stadium was in 2002, and it shows what this stadium means for Olympiakos, I think that they will win in front of their fans with several goals difference.
