Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 12th place.

It's no vacation for neither Iraklis nor Trikala as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Iraklis form and stats

When playing at home, Iraklis have managed 4 wins, 6 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The home team returns to venue after sharing the points with Ergotelis on their last time out; the Football League game ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Kissamikos that ended 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Iraklis as they have a new game in only four days, a Football League match thankfully also at home. Volos NFC are visiting.

The Iraklis fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
