It has been 14 years since Aris reached the Greek Cup final. History is not on their side ahead of the trophy match this weekend.

Panathinaikos last won the cup in 2022. Saturday’s final will be their 30th final appearance. Only arch-rivals Olympiacos have won more Greek Cup trophies than Panathinaikos.

After the regular season and playoff matches in the Greek Super League, Panathinaikos finished in fourth place. Winning the Greek Cup is Panathinaikos’ only way to qualify for Europe next season.

Frustratingly for the club, they finished a mere eight points from leading winners PAOK. Finishing fifth in the standings were Aris, who finished a healthy 17 points off of Panathinaikos.

Since 2003, Panathinaikos and Aris have played 46 times in all competitions. Panathinaikos posted a record of 26W-10D-10L. They outscored Aris by a count of 53-28.

The clubs met four times during the 2023-24 season in all competitions. They split the four games, with two wins apiece. After winning at home against Panathinaikos in the league’s regular season 2-0, Aris fell away to Pana 2-0 in the reverse fixture.

The clubs then met in the Championship Playoffs. Panathinaikos went to Aris and claimed a 2-0 win. Aris returned the favour in the reverse playoff fixture 1-0.

Panathinaikos reached the final thanks to a penalty shoot-out win over PAOK. The teams were locked at two goals apiece after two legs. Panathinaikos won the tie 6-5 on penalties. Aris’ tie with Panetolikos was less thrilling. The Yellow and Blacks won 1-0 on aggregate.

Panathinaikos were led in goals in the Super League by Fotis Ioannidis. The forward had 15 league goals. Aris, on the other hand, saw forward Loren Moron score 20 times in the league.
