We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Olympiakos are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
When playing at home in the 1. Division, Nea Salamis have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Ethnikos Achna (placed 14th) on their last time out; the 1. Division game ended 1-1. Before that, Nea Salamis drew at home versus Apollon.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Nea Salamis have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost zero.
The manager S. Damianou will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to APOEL in only three days.
Nea Salamis has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Salamis have conceded 17 from these games.
The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. Division travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Olympiakos are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Karmiotissa fixture.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Omonia Nicosia (placed 3rd) in their previous outing. The 1. Division match ended in a draw 1-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Ethnikos Achna.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Olympiakos in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Olympiakos, one draw and zero defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Olympiakos manager Č. Janevski as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Karmiotissa.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Olympiakos's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
![]() D. de Oliveira 8 goals | Floridsdorfer AC - Blau-Weiß Linz 1-2 (Erste Liga) - 10.07.2020">W L W Blau-Weiß Linz form and statsAs the visiting team in Erste Liga matches, Blau-Weiß Linz have produced an overall stat of 5-3-6 so far. Blau-Weiß has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one. Home advantage was not enough for Blau-Weiß in their previous game, as they lost their Erste Liga-match, hosting Amstetten, 1-2. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus SV Horn II. Blau-Weiß Linz were so close to getting something from the game against Amstetten, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Blau-Weiß Linz playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Blau-Weiß Linz wins, zero draws and five defeats. The travelling fans enjoy Blau-Weiß's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 14 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Blau-Weiß have conceded 26 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
