Aris is called to immediately put behind them the heavy defeat in Livadeia and return to winning ways against Panetolikos. Loren Moron's presence in the regular training program is the most significant news ahead of Saturday's match (07/11, 19:30) at "Kleanthis Vikelidis".

The 3-0 that rang alarm bells

The performance against Levadiakos caused intense concern. The "yellow-blacks" fell behind in the 8th minute, conceded a second goal from a penalty before the break and failed to react, with the hosts making it 3-0 in the 87th minute.

Beyond the extent of the score, what bothered most was Aris' overall image. Michalis Grigoriou's team did not show the intensity and concentration of previous matches, resulting in a significant setback.

Moron's return, waiting for Racic

Loren Moron's return is recorded as positive. The Spanish striker participated in Monday's program and is a candidate to be back in Michalis Grigoriou's selections, increasing the available attacking options.

In contrast, Uros Racic continued with an individual program and his condition will be evaluated daily. Manu Garcia, Bruma and Matar Tiam followed their rehabilitation programs and remain out of regular rhythm.

The players have a day off today, Tuesday (03/11), and will return to Rysio on Wednesday morning, when tactical preparation for Panetolikos will essentially begin.

Crucial game for a return to winning ways

Aris is in fifth place with 16 points and does not want to lose any more ground in the battle for the top spots. They will face Panetolikos, who have collected nine points and are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to OFI, conceding the decisive goal in the 89th minute.

The return to "Kleanthis Vikelidis" offers the "yellow-blacks" the opportunity to react immediately. The goal is not limited to just three points, but also concerns the competitive image, as Aris needs to show that the 3-0 in Livadeia was a bad parenthesis.
