Aris can edge out the visitors in a tight game
Volos NFC will probably have to win to move up the table and Aris will probably have to beat them to maintain their continental push, so expect two teams who have a lot to lose to be very cautious and disciplined on Saturday. There will be a fine line between playing positive and reckless and there could be few clear chances in this one.
Our Aris Thessaloniki vs Volos NFC prediction highlights the fact that Aris are the favorites at 1.63 to win this game while Volos are a 5.1 longshot, which seems a little odd as there isn’t a great deal between the teams with Aris fourth and Volos second with 16 and 17 points respectively from 27 games in this Super League Conference League Group.
Michalis Grigoriou has instilled a pragmatic and compact style on Aris since taking over in February while Konstantinos Bratsos has done likewise with Volos. The hosts tend to play with more urgency and their matches feature plenty of transitions, pressing triggers and movement in the half-spaces while Volos are more patient, structure-first and look to soak up pressure before striking on the counter or from set-pieces. This makes the Aris Thessaloniki vs Volos NFC preview particularly interesting for fans and punters alike.
Head-to-head and home advantage with Aris
Given their home advantage and head-to-head superiority, and despite Volos being slightly ahead in the table this term, it is difficult to see past the hosts in what is likely to be a tight and tense encounter. The Aris Thessaloniki vs Volos NFC prediction is that Aris’ home form of one win and one loss from two matches suggests they will fancy their chances to eke out a close win against a Volos side that has failed to beat them in any of their last three away meetings.
Benjamin Garre is the main attacking threat for the home side and has one goal in one Super League Conference League Group match this season, while Lazaros Lamprou has the same return for Volos NFC in the same number of games. Max Comba has three goals in five for Volos NFC and is in good form.
This set of Aris Thessaloniki vs Volos NFC betting tips is rounded off by the clash of styles, which should make this a chess match rather than a game of chess where the winner will have outplayed the loser with the play-off and continental places at stake. Take Aris to just edge out their visitors in this encounter. The under 2.5 goals market is available at a favorable 1.8, which is fair given the approach of both teams and their respective records.
