The Super League 1 Relegation phase continues in Greece as Asteras Tripolis welcome Atromitos to the Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium on May 2, 2026. Both sides find themselves in a tight scrap to secure top flight status for next season. Atromitos currently sit at the top of the relegation standings with eleven points, remaining unbeaten in the last five, while Asteras Tripolis are in third with eight. Recent encounters have provided plenty of drama and tight margins. With Atromitos enjoying the better form and Asteras Tripolis seeking revenge for their recent head-to-head loss, this match promises high stakes and high tension.
Among the standout performers, Federico Macheda has been vital for Asteras Tripolis, netting four goals in the last five matches, providing a consistent threat up front. Atromitos’ Makana Baku is also worth following, having scored four goals in as many games, often stretching defences with his pace and sharp movement. Both players are likely to have a major impact on the outcome.
The hot stat for this clash: Atromitos have scored 12 goals in their last five matches, an average of 2.4 per game, marking them as one of the most effective attacking teams in the relegation group.

Asteras Tripolis vs Atromitos prediction
We predict a high-scoring encounter with Atromitos holding a slight edge. The visitors come into the game unbeaten in their last five, having scored at least two goals in four of those outings. Their attacking output, led by Baku, and supported by Jubitana and Stavropoulos from deep, has been difficult for other relegation candidates to contain. Asteras Tripolis, although defensively steady, have struggled to consistently outscore opponents, relying heavily on Macheda’s contributions. Their passing accuracy has dipped compared to Atromitos, which could see them struggle to control the tempo, especially if they fall behind. The bookmakers’ odds reflect a balanced contest, but Atromitos’ recent form and superior attacking numbers tip the value towards them in double chance or draw-no-bet markets.
Both teams show discipline in defence but aren’t afraid to commit fouls, as their yellow card numbers (Asteras Tripolis: 12, Atromitos: 11 in the last five) suggest. Atromitos tend to press more aggressively, forcing turnovers and transitions, while Asteras Tripolis prefer a structured build-up. Expect a contest with plenty of midfield battles, a moderate number of fouls, and both teams pushing for goals given their recent scoring trends.

Team Analysis
Asteras Tripolis’ recent matches show a mixed bag of results. In their last five, they’ve won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. Their previous outing was a 1-2 loss against this very Atromitos side a match where they failed to convert possession into enough quality chances. Macheda scored, but defensive lapses proved costly. Before that, they secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Panetolikos, but they’ve struggled to dominate weaker teams, as the goalless draws with Kifisia and Panserraikos suggest.
Atromitos, by contrast, are unbeaten in their last five and have been much more clinical in front of goal. Their latest match was the 2-1 win against Asteras Tripolis, where Baku and Stavropoulos provided the goals. The 4-0 thrashing of Panserraikos showed their attacking prowess, and even in tighter games (such as the 0-0 draw with Kifisia), they rarely look in real danger of losing. Their defensive line has been solid, conceding just four goals in five matches.

Possible Starting Lineups
Asteras Tripolis possible starting eleven
- GK: Nikolaos Papadopoulos
- DF: Konstantinos Triantafyllopoulos, Nikola Šipčić, Nikolai Alho, Issiaga Sylla
- MF: Eder González, Oluwatobiloba Alagbe, Julián Bartolo, Panagiotis Deligiannidis, Miguel Muñoz Mora
- FW: Federico Macheda
This lineup leans on the experience of Triantafyllopoulos and Šipčić in defence, with Alagbe and González tasked to control midfield. Macheda leads the line, hoping to capitalize on any defensive lapses. Bartolo’s creativity and Deligiannidis’ work rate will be important on the flanks. Asteras are likely to stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, offering both defensive cover and attacking support.
Atromitos possible starting eleven
- GK: Lefteris Choutesiotis
- DF: Dimitrios Stavropoulos, Jere Uronen, Georgios Papadopoulos
- MF: Theocharis Tsingaras, Mattheos Mountes, Peter Michorl, Mansur
- FW: Makana Baku, Denzel Jubitana, Dimitrios Tsakmakis
Atromitos will likely deploy their preferred 3-4-3 setup. The defensive trio of Stavropoulos, Uronen, and Papadopoulos gives solidity, while Tsingaras and Mountes offer balance and creativity in midfield. Baku, Jubitana, and Tsakmakis form a dynamic frontline. Expect Baku to be the main threat, given his recent scoring run, with Michorl pushing up in support. The squad selection reflects their flexibility and attacking intent.

The Verdict
We predict both teams will score and the match will see at least three goals. Atromitos, unbeaten in five, have the form and attacking edge to trouble the home side. Asteras Tripolis are not out of this by any stretch, but their recent inability to consistently keep clean sheets against strong attacks puts them at a disadvantage. This fixture has produced goals and drama in recent meetings, and with both teams motivated for safety, an open contest is on the cards. Back Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score for the best value, with Atromitos double chance as a strong secondary option.
