Aris is playing quite well this season, in the first 15 rounds played they had an excellent attacking line that has managed to score 28 goals so far in the competition, which puts them in second place in terms of efficiency in the league, right behind Paphos, with 31 scored goals.
In the previous two rounds, they slightly spoiled their goal-scoring performance, as they drew 0-0 both times at AEL and then at Olympiakos from Nicosia. However, Aleksey Shpilevski and his team are still without a defeat in the last nine games.

On the other hand, Arisa will be visited by the best team of the championship so far, a team that has registered 11 wins, 3 draws and only one defeat in the previous 15 rounds.
With 36 points, they hold the leading position in the table, and considering that the second-placed Paphos and the third-placed AEK Larnaca are only two points behind them, they will have to enter the next match with maximum concentration, with the imperative of winning over a not easy opponent.

In the last round, they achieved a narrow victory against Anorthosis at home by 1-0, and in that match, Vladan Milojević’s team once again showed that it has the character, which is necessary to win the trophy.
