The stage is set for an incredible test of AEK and Aris’ championship credentials, with both sides looking for a vital victory to remain close to the top of the table.

Enosi hosts the Thessaloniki side at “Agia Sophia” Stadium on Sunday morning (AEDT) in the headline fixture of the Greek Super League’s 13th round, with the pressure on each club to perform.

The two teams are each coming off disappointing losses last weekend which saw them both fall three points behind first position, making victory all the more essential for each side.

Another loss to either AEK or Aris would likely put them six points behind, a considerable gap with this matchday representing the midway point of the league’s regular season.

Olympiacos will be pleased to extend their lead over AEK or Aris (or both in the event of a draw), though they will first need to defeat OFI away on Monday morning.

The Piraeus giants will be one of three teams coming into the round after playing midweek in Europe, which is a fact the Cretans will hope plays in their favour as the fresher team that also has the home ground advantage.

PAOK will be eager to make light work of bottom-placed Kallithea when they meet at “Toumba” Stadium, with the Thessaloniki giants hoping to (at the very least) remain just one point adrift of top spot.

The Athenian outfit will no doubt strive to cause an upset, with their only advantage being that PAOK comes into the game after travelling to play in Latvia midweek.

Panathinaikos has the most difficult challenge on paper of the three Hellenic teams competing in Europe, taking on Atromitos at the Olympic Stadium.

The Greens have put themselves back in contention for the title following three straight league wins, a fact they will be desperate to not let go to waste by dropping points now.

The Peristeriotes will be keen to cause trouble for the “Trifylli” and gain a psychological advantage before the two clubs battle again in the first leg of the Greek Cup’s Round of 16 three days later.

Asteras Tripolis is aiming to snap a two-game losing streak when they go away to take on Panserraikos.

Volos takes on Lamia at home in the round opener on Sunday morning, with the Fthiotida side fighting to earn its first victory since the season’s debut matchday.

Levadiakos challenges sixth-placed Panetolikos at home with the goal of creating further distance from the relegation zone, currently sitting just one point off the bottom two places.
