Volos NFC get ready to welcome Atromitos for something different than the ordinary league football: The Greek Cup Group Stage leg 1 of 2.
It's no vacation for neither Volos NFC nor Atromitos 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.
Volos NFC form and stats
Volos NFC participated in Greek Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.Volos NFC have collected 14 points from their Super League home games so far after 4-2-2.
Happy days for Volos NFC in their previous game, a Super League match away at OFI that ended with a 2-1 victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Olympiakos Piraeus that ended 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Volos NFC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Volos NFC as a small favourite), we find two games. Volos NFC has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus Xanthi in only four days. This game is also played here at Panthessaliko.
Volos NFC are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. Volos NFC's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Atromitos form and stats
Atromitos's mission in Greek Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals against AEK Athens.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atromitos so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose).
The attacking players of Atromitos have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 206 minutes.
Atromitos are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Super League against Asteras Tripolis. Prior to that match, the Atromitos manager S. Pantelidis faced defeat when travelling to PAOK and losing 1-5.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Atromitos playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 3 Atromitos wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Panaitolikos.
Atromitos are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Atromitos have conceded 18 goals in these games.
