Napoli to face Aris Thessaloniki in pre-season friendly at Stadio Teofilo Patini on August 13

Massimiliano Allegri’s Napoli will play Aris Thessaloniki in a pre-season friendly at Stadio Teofilo Patini in Castel di Sangro, Italy, with kick-off at 12:30 a.m. IST on Thursday, August 13. The match is scheduled as part of Napoli’s pre-season preparations and will be played behind closed-door broadcast arrangements for several markets.

Aris arrive in strong recent form, having won three of their previous four games, including a 5-1 victory over Panthrakikos and a 3-1 win against Monza, while Napoli have been inconsistent over the same span, with two wins, one draw and one loss. Although observers note a clear class difference between the clubs, the Greek side’s recent results suggest they will present a competitive test. Napoli’s attacking output under Allegri will depend on the forward line’s cohesion against a side that has shown sharp transitional pace. The Italian club will be aiming to finish their pre-season schedule with a positive result.

Aris compete in Super League Greece, a detail that frames their recent run of results and the level of opposition Napoli will face in this friendly. The match offers Aris another opportunity to test their form against Serie A opposition before their domestic campaign resumes.

Napoli’s defensive structure could be exposed by Aris’ pace in transition, particularly early in the match when teams commonly make multiple changes. How effectively Napoli’s forwards link play will also shape the team’s offensive rhythm under Allegri during this final pre-season outing.
