Aris Thessalonikis host Volos NFC in Greece's Super League 1. Aris have made a much brighter start to the season than their visitors, sitting well clear of them in the early table.
Volos arrive without a league win so far this season, while Aris have swung between comfortable victories and one very heavy defeat. That mix leaves plenty to weigh up before kickoff.

Volos have not won any of their five league games. They've drawn twice, against Iraklis and Olympiakos, but lost the other three, shipping goals in every one of those defeats, including a 3-1 loss at Kalamata and a 2-1 defeat at home to AEK.
Aris have the better results, but neither side has looked settled defensively.

Going further back the head-to-head is mixed, with Volos picking up some heavier wins in previous seasons, but the current run of form between the clubs clearly sits with Aris.
Where they sit early on
Aris are seventh with seven points from five games, a reasonable platform this early in the campaign. Volos are down in thirteenth with just two points from the same number of matches.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Panetolikos | 5 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 8/7 | 9 |
| 7 | Aris Thessalonikis | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5/10 | 7 |
| 8 | Iraklis 1908 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 4/6 | 6 |
| 12 | Asteras Tripolis | 5 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 4/9 | 2 |
| 13 | Volos NFC | 5 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 4/9 | 2 |
| 14 | Levadiakos | 5 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 0/9 | 1 |
That's a five-point gap after only five rounds, and it lines up with what we've seen from both sides on the pitch so far.
Players to watch
Fabiano has two goals in four appearances for Aris, while Volos's M. González has the same tally from five games, so both sides have at least one player finding the net regularly.
Several Volos players already have multiple yellow cards this season, with two of them also carrying a red card in their recent matches. That's worth keeping an eye on if this one gets feisty.

How this could play out
Aris have the better home record and the recent head-to-head edge, and Volos haven't managed a win anywhere this season. On paper that points towards a home success.
But Aris have shown they can be exposed, conceding heavily in that AEK defeat, and Volos have kept most of their recent games tight even in defeat. A comfortable home banker isn't guaranteed.

Put it all together and Aris look the more reliable side right now, sitting higher up the table, playing at home, and holding the recent edge in this fixture.
Volos's lack of a win all season and their leaky away form make it hard to back them, even with Aris's own defensive dips factored in.
