Ergotelis Heraklion vs Aris Saloniki Match Preview
Aris supporters were absolutely shocked this week with the news that Hector Cuper had stepped down as manager of the club. It was another sad chapter in a disappointing domestic campaign for the club.
Last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to lowly Panionios seem to be the final straw as the Argentine boss apparently realized that his job was done. The question remains now who will replace Cuper and can this team turn their season around. This weekend’s fixture against Ergotelis signals a new start, but also a difficult one.
Nikos Karageorgiou’s Ergotelis have lost only once in their last seven matches and that form has seen the club rise up to 5th place in the Super League standings. Avoiding relegation may still be the goal, however on this form claiming a playoff spot is not out of question. A win over Aris could just be the result that gives the players belief that they can remain high up in the table.
