Match Analysis
Aris Thessalonikis host Kalamata at Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium in Super League 1, Regular Season - 26. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 20 March 2027 at 16:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Super League 1 games this season, Aris Thessalonikis have gone 7W 1D 2L from 10 outings — a 2.20 PPG return. Last five: W W L L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.40 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Aris Thessalonikis have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
At home at Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium, Aris Thessalonikis have gone 4W 5D 1L this season (10 games, 1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.70 lags behind their overall 2.20 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium this season.
Kalamata — All Games: 1W 1D 3L from 5 Super League 1 fixtures this season — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L D W L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Kalamata have played only a handful of Super League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Aris Thessalonikis carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.40 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.20 vs 0.80. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
H2H
The rivalry is an even one: 1 wins apiece for Aris Thessalonikis, 0 for Kalamata and 0 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
The 1 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 5.0 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 22 Aug 2026, ended 3–2 with Aris Thessalonikis winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 5.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
Aris Thessalonikis in-play tendencies (5 games): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 40% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games; Over 3.5 in 40%; they fail to score in 60% of games.
Kalamata in-play tendencies (5 games): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures; when trailing at the break they recover to draw or win in 40% of cases; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games; Over 3.5 in 40%; they fail to score in 40% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Aris Thessalonikis 40% versus Kalamata 60%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Aris Thessalonikis 60% | Kalamata 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Aris Thessalonikis 1.32 xG and Kalamata 0.65 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 0.847 / defence 0.892 | Kalamata attack 0.738 / defence 1.138. League average goals — home 1.367 / away 0.993. Data: 31 Aris Thessalonikis games / 5 Kalamata games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Aris Thessalonikis 50% | Draw 35% | Kalamata 15%. Fair-value odds: Aris Thessalonikis 2.00 | Draw 2.86 | Kalamata 6.67. Aris Thessalonikis hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (35%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 1.97. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.97 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 38% is moderate — 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 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 35% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Aris Thessalonikis offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 1.97 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 32% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 38% on No. Form rates are neutral: Aris Thessalonikis 50% | Kalamata 60%.
