Lamia get ready to welcome Ionikos for something different than the ordinary league football: The Greek Cup Round of 16 leg 1 of 2.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super League. That game, against OFI, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Ionikos.
Lamia form and stats
Last season, Lamia's Greek Cup journey ended in the quarter-finals against PAOK.Lamia have collected 2 points from their Super League home games so far after 0-2-3. Lamia are slowly digging their own grave here at Dimotiko Athlitiko Kentro Lamias with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Larissa match.
An away draw last time out for Lamia, facing Apollon Smirnis in a game that ended 0-0.
Preceding that match was a Super League defeat to Panathinaikos (1-3).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus PAS Giannina in only four days. This game is also played here at Dimotiko Athlitiko Kentro Lamias.
The Lamia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Lamia with 10 goals conceded in these matches.
Ionikos form and stats
Ionikos was sent out of Greek Cup in the 8th finals last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ionikos so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ionikos are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Two away games in a row for Ionikos, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus OFI in the Super League.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Asteras Tripolis in the Super League.After this away game Ionikos return home for a Super League game against PAOK. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Ionikos when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Ionikos's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 10 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's two Lamia victories, zero draws and zero Ionikos wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
