Aris turned a strong chance count into three goals against Panetolikos

Tino Kadewere scored twice in a 3-0 win, and Aris created more than they usually do at home while Panetolikos had less of the ball.

Tino Kadewere scored in the eleventh minute, with Benjamin Garré providing the pass, and again early in the second half. Giannis Gianniotas added a third in the 58th minute, set up by Uros Racic, and by then Aris Thessalonikis had the 3-0 win at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium in hand. Kadewere's six shots show how often he was in the places where goals come from.

Aris had 64% of the ball, which is what expected possession means here: the share of the game each side spent in control. At home this season they average 56.8%, so the figure was well above their usual. More important was what they did with it. They took 18 shots, against a home average of 15.3, and only six of those were on target.

The quality of those chances was also higher than usual. Expected goals, or xG, is a way of scoring each shot by how often a chance like it goes in, and Aris's total of 1.95 compares with a home average of 1.07. In plain terms, they were not just shooting more, they were getting into better positions to shoot from.

Panetolikos had 36% of the ball, down on the 44.7% they average away from home. They managed ten shots, but only one of them tested the goalkeeper. Their expected goals figure was 0.93, which is above their away average of 0.70, so they too made slightly better chances than usual, yet they failed to score. Away from home they usually score 0.4 goals a game, and this time they scored none.

Defensively, Panetolikos gave up chances in line with what they usually concede on their travels. Their away average for expected goals against is 2.08, and Aris's 1.95 sits just below it. Aris did not get unusually good looks at goal against this side; they simply made more of them than they normally do at home. The league average is 2.8 goals a match, and this game finished 3-0, which is a lower total than that, but the chances tell the more complete story.

The result leaves Aris fifth in the table with 16 points from nine matches, and their home record now reads five wins, one draw and three defeats. Panetolikos are tenth with nine points from nine, and they have lost each of their last six away matches.
