Exciting matchups with clear favorites in the second round of the League Phase of the Greek Cup, with Niki Volos facing Asteras Tripolis (3:00 p.m.), while Aris hosts Marko (4:45 p.m.).
But let’s take things in order, starting with the first match of the day between Niki Volos and Asteras AKTOR. The home team has had a terrible start to Superbet League 2 with two losses in their first two matches, while in the Greek Superbet Cup opener, they put up a fight at OAKA against Panathinaikos but suffered a 1-0 loss on a goal scored by Vicente Taborda.

On the other hand, after a poor start to the league season with three consecutive losses, the Arkadians improved their form and secured two draws that boosted their morale. Giorgos Antonopoulos’s team earned a point (1-1) against Aris in the opening match of the Superbet Greek Cup, and they also avoided defeat against AEK (another 1-1 draw), earning their first point of the season in the league as well. Asteras AKTOR is considered the favorite and is looking for a win that will give them a significant lead in qualifying for the next round of the competition.

In the other match, Aris is looking to end a three-game winless streak, and a victory over Marko would bring some relief, but it would also be a crucial step toward advancing in a tournament the Thessaloniki side hopes to see through to the end. The “Yellows” are coming off a 2-0 loss in the derby against PAOK, and after the match against Marko, they’ll face Heraklis before the break.
On the other side, Marko drew 2-2 with Kifisia in its opener of the League Phase of the Superbet Greek Cup, while in the second-division league, they have a perfect record of 2-0 against Panserraikos (1-0) and Athens Kallithea (2-1), respectively. Souli Papadopoulos’s team, however, faces a significant challenge, as veteran forward Youssef El Arabi is expected to play in the match against Aris.
