The pre-announcement of Ionikos – Aris for the Superleague
Friday night is the match between Ionikos and Aris, which opens its curtain 2ης Super League Interwetten. The match changed day as if he wanted to come on September 17, the same date that 32 years ago Ionikos played for the first time in its history in the First National. In fact, it welcomed Mars as it does today. The only thing that… spoils the scene is that then the game was played in Egaleo, like the next two games of Ionikos.
The stadium of Naples therefore welcomes after 14 years, a match of the big category. The Super League returns to Naples and Ionikos and Aris are looking for their first goal, as they did not succeed in the premiere. A strong game with two coaches, each connected to the opposing team.
The Ionian
The team of Piraeus returned to the category after 14 years and started with a defeat by AEK, in a game that cost them the dismissal of Alexis Romao. In fact, the Togolese football player became the oldest player to play for Ionikos.
The stadium of Naples hosts a match of the big category for the first time since May 13, 2007. Ionikos had said goodbye to the category with a satisfying game. Ionikos – Olympiakos 3-5 (61 ‘header by Natsouras, 65’ shot by Fambino, 85 ‘shot by Macor – 41’ shot, 68 ‘penalty by Rivaldo, 49’ shot by Okkas, 66 ‘shot by Borja, 76’ shot by Mendrinos).
Ionikos did not win in its last 27 games that season, after the 1-0 (29 ‘shot Onouachi) against Apollon Kalamaria on September 10, 2006.
On the bench of Ionikos is Dimitris Spanos, his old player, who made his debut as a coach in the category in the game with AEK.

Mars
The home draw with OFI was not the start that Aris expected in the premiere of the championship. Now he is being tested in Naples and against the enthusiasm of Ionikos he will compare his experience in the category. Of course in the first game he had more than half of the players in the eleven, six, to be new.
Aris did not score in a premiere for the first time since 2012 and would not want to repeat his start last year, when after the draw at home again with OFI, he had lost in Volos.
The team of Thessaloniki is making its first trip to the Basin, where last year it had impressive results, after losing one of the eight games it played there! For the first time in its history, it remained undefeated by all teams in the regular season, since the defeat was by Olympiakos in the Playoffs.
Apostolos Mantzios faces for the first time as coach Ionikos, the team that ended his football career in 2004, even making two terms in it. The last of his 229 games in the First National, and 31 of them in total, he played with the jersey of Ionikos.
