The Greece Super League roared back into action this past weekend, with a string of decisive results and a few surprises that are sure to keep fans buzzing all week long. From Aris Thessaloniki’s commanding performance to the postponed Panathinaikos fixture, the league’s top clubs set the tone for what promises to be another fiercely contested season in Greek football.
Saturday, August 23, 2025, saw three of the league’s perennial contenders asserting their dominance right from the opening whistle. Aris Thessaloniki, playing at home, delivered a confident 2-0 victory over Volos NPS. The result was never really in doubt, with Aris pressing high and controlling possession for much of the match. Their attacking prowess was on full display, and the home crowd responded with thunderous applause as the team found the back of the net twice, sealing all three points. The win gives Aris an early boost and sets a high bar for their upcoming fixtures.
Meanwhile, Olympiacos Piraeus, another giant of Greek football, matched Aris’s result with a 2-0 win of their own against Asteras Tripolis. Olympiacos looked sharp and well-drilled, with their midfield dictating the tempo and their defense rarely troubled by the visitors’ advances. For a club with such a storied history and high expectations, this opening result will be seen as a statement of intent. Olympiacos fans will be eager to see if their side can maintain this level of performance as the season unfolds.
Not to be outdone, Atromitos Athinon also enjoyed a successful start, defeating Panaitolikos Agrinio 2-0 away from home. The match was a showcase of disciplined defending and clinical finishing from Atromitos, who capitalized on their chances and kept a clean sheet. Their supporters will surely be encouraged by this early sign of consistency and grit.
Sunday’s slate of matches, scheduled for August 24, was not without its drama. The highly anticipated clash between Panathinaikos and OFI Crete, set for 12:45 p.m., was postponed—a decision that left many fans disappointed and speculating about the reasons behind the delay. While the league has not yet provided a detailed explanation, the postponement means both clubs will have to wait a little longer to kick off their campaigns. Panathinaikos, always a side with high ambitions, will be hoping the extra preparation time works in their favor when the fixture is eventually rescheduled.
Elsewhere on Sunday, AEK Athens got their season off to a flying start with a 2-0 victory over Panserraikos FC. The reigning champions—known for their relentless attacking play—showed no signs of early-season rust. Their movement off the ball and quick passing sequences kept Panserraikos on the back foot, and the two-goal margin was a fair reflection of their superiority on the day. The AEK faithful will be buoyed by this result as their side looks to defend its crown.
PAOK, another of Greece’s footballing heavyweights, edged past AE Larissa FC with a narrow 1-0 win. While the scoreline suggests a tight affair, PAOK’s control in midfield and ability to limit Larissa’s chances proved decisive. It’s never easy grinding out results in the early weeks of the season, but PAOK’s experienced squad showed just enough composure to get the job done. Their supporters will be hoping this hard-fought victory is a sign of things to come.
The action doesn’t stop there. Monday, August 25, brings a fresh round of anticipation as APO Levadiakos FC is set to take on AE Kifisia FC at 12:30 p.m. Both sides will be eager to start their campaigns on a positive note, and with the rest of the league already underway, the pressure will be on to make an immediate impression. Will Levadiakos seize the initiative on home turf, or can Kifisia spoil the party? Fans will have to tune in to find out.
The fixture list for the coming days is packed, with several matches on the horizon that are sure to shape the early standings. Saturday’s schedule includes Volos NPS versus Olympiacos Piraeus at 12 p.m., Panserraikos FC against OFI Crete at 12:30 p.m., Aris Thessaloniki hosting Panaitolikos Agrinio at 2 p.m., and AE Larissa FC facing AE Kifisia FC at 2:30 p.m. Each of these games carries its own intrigue, with clubs looking to build momentum and establish themselves as contenders—or avoid an early-season stumble.
Sunday promises even more excitement, with AEK Athens set to take on Asteras Tripolis at 1 p.m., PAOK facing Atromitos Athinon at 2 p.m., and Panathinaikos hosting APO Levadiakos FC at 3 p.m. These matches will be closely watched, especially as several top teams look to assert their dominance and chase down early points.
