A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
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!
Ionikos form and stats
Ionikos, who have the most clean sheets (5) at home in Football League, have performed here this season with 4 wins from 7 Football League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.
Ionikos haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 191 minutes ago. M. Kallergis scored that one.
The fans are hoping that Ionikos will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Football League game against Trikala (placed 1st). Before that, Ionikos drew at home versus Veria.
Ionikos has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Ionikos have only let in 3 goals at home.
Thesprotos form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Thesprotos so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Thesprotos have lost on their last two travels.
Thesprotos aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 208 league minutes without a goal. C. Ramirez was the last player to find the net.
Thesprotos failed to get anything from their last game, a Football League home match vs Niki Volos (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ialysos wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The attacking power of Thesprotos when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. For Thesprotos, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
