The league table is allowed to rest as Trikala and Lamia battle for Greek Cup honors in this first Group Stage leg of two fixtures.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Trikala form and stats
Last season their Greek Cup adventure ended in the group stage.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Dimotiko Stadio Trikalon as Trikala have scored 12 goals to get 17 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Football League are 5-2-0 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Greek Cup, Trikala has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. In general it's been a long time since Trikala tasted defeat here at Dimotiko Stadio Trikalon, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games.
Trikala's last game was hosting Ionikos and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Trikala lost 0-2 at Niki Volos's place.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Diagoras are coming to town in three days.

Lamia form and stats
They also participated in Greek Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when AEK Athens drew the shortest straw.Lamia have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-2-5 (9 played).
The Lamia goalkeeper Damir Kahriman is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 204 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's the second away game in a row for Lamia, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Panionios in the Super League last time out. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against AEK Athens in the Super League.
After this away game Lamia return home for a Super League game against Olympiakos Piraeus. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Lamia have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
