Aris Thessalonikis — last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L, averaging 1.60 points per game. Last five: D W L L L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Across their last 10 games, Atromitos have recorded 5W 1D 4L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: W L W W D. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.40. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Atromitos's form when playing away from home: 3W 5D 2L across their last 10 road games (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Aris Thessalonikis at 1.60 PPG versus Atromitos's 1.60. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Aris Thessalonikis's games and 60% of Atromitos's (from Aris Thessalonikis's last 10 home games and Atromitos's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 4 H2H matches we hold have produced 2 wins for Aris Thessalonikis, 1 for Atromitos and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 18 Aug 2024, ended Aris Thessalonikis 1–1 Atromitos — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Aris Thessalonikis in-play and half-time data (last 46 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 59% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 69% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Atromitos in-play and half-time data (last 46 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 21 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Aris Thessalonikis 46% versus Atromitos 61%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Aris Thessalonikis 41% | Atromitos 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Aris Thessalonikis 1.35 xG and Atromitos 1.20 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Aris Thessalonikis attack 1.099 / defence 0.829 | Atromitos attack 1.191 / defence 0.960. League average goals — home 1.285 / away 1.219. Data: built from Aris Thessalonikis's last 39 games and Atromitos's last 39.

Result probabilities: Aris Thessalonikis 39% | Draw 29% | Atromitos 32%. Fair-value odds: Aris Thessalonikis 2.57 | Draw 3.41 | Atromitos 3.14. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Aris Thessalonikis at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Aris Thessalonikis offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.56 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 53% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Aris Thessalonikis 60% (last 10 home games) | Atromitos 60% (last 10 away games).
