Aris and Panathinaikos will square off in the Greek Super League round 22 clash on Sunday (February 9th). The game will be played at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Athens Kallithea last weekend. Hamza Mendyl's 22nd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Panathinaikos, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to arch-rivals Olympiacos in the second leg of their Greek Cup quarterfinal tie on Wednesday. Christos Mouzakitis scored the match-winner in the fourth minute of injury time, two minutes after Ayoub El Kaabi missed a penalty for the hosts.
The Shamrock will shift their focus to the league, where their last game saw them come back from a two-goal deficit to claim a 3-2 home win over OFI Crete.
The win left them in third spot in the table, having garnered 43 points from 21 games. Aris are sixth on 34 points.
