Trikala form and stats
The story so far in the Gamma Ethniki Group 3 for Trikala at their home stadium (Dimotiko Stadio Neapolis Volou) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.
A nice win for Trikala last time playing, versus Ipato. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Asteras Petriti in a game that was won 3-0.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 Trikala have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.
It should be considered that a peek at the 14 most recent league games reveals that 11 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).
From these home matches, Trikala have conceded only 5 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Ipato form and stats

It might be tough going out on the road again for Ipato, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Trikala (placed 4th). That defeat was their first after five consecutive league games winning points.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Vyzas Megara.Low on goals? 10 of this club's most recent 11 league rounds have had zero, one or two goals.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ipato have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. It's not easy to score on Ipato as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
