Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Aris is 6.98, compared to 6.91 for Apollon Limassol. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Aris's highest-rated starter is Jaden Montnor (7.20), while Apollon Limassol's best-rated player is Philipp Kuhn (7.27).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Aris have contributed 10 goals and 9 assists this season, led by Rody Junior Effaghe (5G). Apollon Limassol's starters account for 10 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by Pedro Marques (4G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Aris deploy 4 defenders rated 6.94 on average, against Apollon Limassol's 5-man backline averaging 6.84. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Aris field 5 midfielders averaging 6.98, versus Apollon Limassol's 3 rated 6.93. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Aris start 1 forward(s) averaging 7.18, compared to 2 for Apollon Limassol averaging 6.86. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 82% for Aris and 82% for Apollon Limassol. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Aris's starters have collected 42 yellow cards this season, compared to 38 for Apollon Limassol. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Aris's starting XI is 26.4 (youngest: Gustavo Paje (20), oldest: Vana Alves (34)), while Apollon Limassol average 28.2 (youngest: Antreas Shikkis (23), oldest: Philipp Kuhn (33)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Aris's starters average 21 league appearances each, versus 20 for Apollon Limassol. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
