PAE APS Atromitos Athens vs Aris Saloniki Match Preview
Atromitos take on Aris this Sunday in a match that could eliminate one side from challenging for a playoff spot. Five points back in the race for the final playoff place, Atromitos need a victory to stay in the contention. A couple weeks ago Giorgos Donis’ side appeared to be in good shape however two defeats and a draw in their last three matches have put the club back into the bottom half of the table.
Aris meanwhile were impressive in their 0-0 home draw with Manchester City in Round of 32 Europa League action earlier this week. The problem for the club has been the difficulty in transferring their superb European displays to the domestic stage this season. The club’s league campaign has seen inconsistent results and erratic performances. Only a late charge in the final matches will see Aris rise up and gain a European berth again.
