It only took a week for Olympiacos and Aris to get back together, after the 2-1 victory of Thessaloniki at “Kleanthis Vikelidis” with which it finally entered the “red and white” undefeated series.
This time the two teams face each other in the premiere of the playoffs (19:00, Novasports Prime, BwinΣΠΟΡ FM 94,6 and sport-fm.gr), with Piraeus wishing to get the first of the five three-pointers required to win the mathematical championship of the 47th championship in their history.
For their part, the Thessalonians under the guidance of Herman Burgos want to repeat their recent success and do “damage” again to the team of Pedro Martins.
Olympiakos after almost four years lost a game that preceded the score. He had the best defense in the league with 14 goals, at least seven less than any other team. He is now defending his unbeaten home run, which is in 15 games. In fact, he has won the last 10, after the draw with Panathinaikos.
With three wins in the last equal number of games for the regular season, Aris entered the playoffs fourth in the standings and one point behind the leading position in Europe. It was the only team in the regular season that did not lose a point in a match that was in front of the score. The 49 goals scored in his games, 28 for and 21 against, were the fewest of any team. Together with Panathinaikos he had the second best defense.
Prehistory
Not only did he beat Olympiakos after 12 years, but his unbeaten streak in the season stopped. Aris prevailed in the last game of the regular season just a week ago, after 24 official matches, 20 of them for the championship, which could not beat Olympiakos. Aris had to win since April 28, 2010, 2-0 then (39 ‘Johnson heads, 90’ Johnson shoots).
In fact, Olympiakos had 16 wins and 4 draws in these 20 leagues.
Olympiakos has scored in the last 22 between them, after a 0-0 in Neos Faliro for the Playoffs.
In “Georgios Karaiskakis”, Olympiacos won the last two, after the draw in February 2021. It is the only loss in the last 10 championships, since Olympiacos has won the other nine.
Olympiakos is an undefeated home team for 18 games, after the victory of Aris on January 27, 2002, 1-0 (79 ‘Tzbari heads) at “Spyros Louis”. In Neos Faliro, Aris has been winning since November 6, 1983, for almost 39 years.
