Will the favorites confirm their title? - Big game in Bergamo

Friday's schedule includes big favorites, with two of them coming from the Cypriot championship. Aris and AEK will host ENP and Omonia Aradippou respectively and it will be considered a big surprise if they drop points at home. Inter are also big favorites, a huge game in Bergamo, Paris is tested in Auxerre.
ARIS-ENP (19:00)
The huge double in the GSP against APOEL with 1-2, thanks to Nikolic's goal in the 89th minute and the defeat of Pafos by Omonia, allowed Aris to reduce the gap from the top to two points and at the same time to move to +9 from last year's champion.
Alexei Spilevski's team has come up with a very difficult schedule with absolute success and now hosts ENP to extend its winning streak, overtake Paphos and transfer the pressure to them.
The Belarusian coach does not count on Kvilitaia and Struski.
ENP goes to Limassol without anxiety to make the surprise. Very difficult, but they will fight for it.
In the last two matches, in the 2022/23 season, Aris won with difficulty and in the details, with 2-1 and 0-1.
AEK-OMONIA ARADIPPOU (19:00)
Another big favorite that is called upon to confirm its title. AEK will welcome Omonia Aradippou and has the first reason for the victory.
Henning Berg's team after the break, beat Karmiotissa and Omonia 29M and climbed to 4th place, cutting the gap from the leader Pafos to seven points.
The yellow-green team found their footing, while the notable things are the very good defensive image they present, as well as Fran Sol's hat trick last matchday.
Omonia Aradippou comes from the very important victory over Nea Salamina with 1-0 and for the first time escaped the danger zone. Today's game is theoretically off the schedule, however the… pigeons will go to the "Arena" for the best possible result.
INTER-PARMA (19:30)
The game with Fiorentina was postponed due to the collapse of Edoardo Beauve on the pitch. The immediate assistance provided to the player prevented any untoward incident and the last thing he cared about was the postponement of the game.
Today, Inter will host Parma for the 15th matchday of the championship and are the big favorites for victory. The Nerazzurri are in excellent form and their performance is justifiably low. After the defeat by Milan, Inter has 10 wins and 2 draws in the championship and Europe, as a result of which they have climbed the standings of both competitions.
Parma, on the other hand, went to Milan with high spirits after the victory over Lazio with 3-1 and is optimistic about making another surprise, even bigger.
Last year, the two teams met in a single game in the quarter-finals of the cup and Inter qualified with great difficulty in extra time and after a reversal.
ATALANTA-MILAN (21:45)
The most important game of the matchday in Italy will take place in Bergamo, with Atalanta hosting Milan.
The home team is maintaining impressively high levels of performance and is running an unbeaten streak of 13 games, with only 2 draws. These are results that were outside the high expectations of the people of Atalanta and now the demands have risen even higher.
The game with Milan will be very difficult due to the pressure that the guests face, however, the odds are on Atalanta's side.
Milan beat Sassuolo 6-1 last Tuesday and qualified for the next phase of the cup, while previously they defeated Empoli in the league and Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League.
2021 was Milan's last double, while Atalanta has 2 wins and 1 draw in the last three games.
AUXERRE-PARIS (22:00)
Toulouse put an end to the great unbeaten streak of five games in Auxerre. Defeat would come at some point, but anyway their players exceeded their limits to win away from Marseille and get a draw from Lyon, again away from home.
Today, another very high obstacle will stand in front of Auxerre, which will face Paris at home for the 14th round of the French championship.
The champions made a mistake last matchday against Nantes, however, the difference from 2nd Marseille is seven points. Against Auxerre, Paris is called upon to return to victories in order to create an atmosphere for the very important and difficult game with Salzburg in the context of the 6th round of the Champions League.
Auxerre's last victory over Paris was recorded in 2011, while the Parisians are coming off three consecutive victories at the expense of their opponent.
