A home win ahead of that match, as expected. The team were big favourites against Volos NFC and won 3-0.

OFI form and stats

There's been little loot from OFI's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Super League. OFI only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for OFI in their previous game as they lost hosting Atromitos, 0-1. The attacker Toral got a match rating of 7.84 in that game. Toral hit seven key passes and had 52 successful passes (of 54 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AEK Athens wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where OFI played away with similar odds. This revealed 5 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 4 times.

The attacking power of OFI when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, OFI rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
