The league table is allowed to rest as Panaitolikos and Panionios battle for Greek Cup honors in this first Group Stage leg of two fixtures.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Panaitolikos and Panionios.
Panaitolikos form and stats
Panaitolikos participated in Greek Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.Panaitolikos's struggle is real here with only 6 points collected from 8 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4.
Panaitolikos lost their last game at AEK Athens after a 1-3 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against OFI.
This is expected to be a close game, with Panaitolikos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Panaitolikos as a small favourite), we find eight games. Panaitolikos has won 4 of these, drawn 4 and lost 0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atromitos are coming to town in three days.
Panaitolikos aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Panionios form and stats
Panionios was sent out of Greek Cup in the quarter-finals last season, when PAOK turned out to be too strong.Panionios have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-1-6 (8 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Panionios who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Panaitolikos was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Panionios's last three away games as they have all been lost.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Lamia with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Larissa's place.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Panionios in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Panionios, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Panionios has another fixture away, a Super League game, against Panathinaikos in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Panionios when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Panionios are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 6 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Panaitolikos-Panionios H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Panaitolikos 1 win, Panionios 7 wins, 2 draws. 4 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
