Life on Mars? Aris Needs a Win Against AEK

The Aris football team faces AEK in a crucial match at the "AlphaMega" stadium on Friday (19:00). This comes after two consecutive draws (2-2 against Omonia Aradippou and 0-0 against Olympiakos), and the team urgently needs a win to regain momentum and stay in contention for the top spots. Aris is currently in fourth place with 31 points, three less than AEK and Paphos FC (which has one game in hand). A victory is vital to avoid falling further behind. Due to injuries and suspensions, Aris will be without Gaustad, Semedo, Kovalevko, Nikolitch, and Makoslant, while Yago and Kalulu return from the Africa Cup of Nations and are available.
