Aris: "Kleanthis Vikelidis" became their big weapon again

Home effectiveness is one of the most important elements of Aris's performance this season. Michalis Grigoriou's team has transformed "Kleanthis Vikelidis" into a key reference point, leaving behind last year's weakness.

The 13 points and offensive improvement

In five home games, Aris has collected 13 out of 15 available points, with four wins and one draw. The only loss was the 0-0 against Iraklis.

The "yellow-blacks" have scored 11 goals and conceded only four. They play with more confidence in their stadium, press higher, and manage to impose their rhythm more easily.

The big difference from last year

The comparison with the previous season reflects the extent of the change. In last year's regular season, Aris had only two wins, nine draws, and two losses at "Kleanthis Vikelidis", with 20 goals scored and 27 conceded.

This year, after just five games, they already have double the wins and have based a large part of their points tally on their home ground. From a weakness of the past season, Charilaou has once again evolved into a significant advantage.

The big tests that follow

The true dynamic of the home ground will be tested after the break. Aris will host Olympiacos for the 12th matchday and then AEK and PAOK, for the 15th and 16th respectively.

The three derbies will show how strong this year's "Kleanthis Vikelidis" is. The next goal for Grigoriou's team is to maintain this effectiveness and at the same time improve their image away from Thessaloniki.
