An important duel in the bottom section of the Football League, with both Ialysos and Kalamata experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 13th place.
The visiting Kalamata played their last game only four days ago, a Greek Cup match.
Kalamata have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Ialysos form and stats
When playing at home in the Football League, Ialysos have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 7 games. Two home wins in a row for Ialysos bring valid hopes of a third.
The Ialysos supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Thesprotos in Football League and win 1-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Trikala.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ialysos have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 1 and lost 0.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ialysos here at Ekonomideio stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). As for guarding their own goal, Ialysos have only let in 3 goals at home.
Kalamata form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kalamata so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Kalamata, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Ionikos game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Kalamata as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Niki Volos match.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Greek Cup home defeat versus Olympiakos Piraeus with 0-2 on the scoreboard. The game before that, in the Football League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Egaleo.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Greek Cup trip to Olympiakos Piraeus.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kalamata as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Kalamata have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
