It's time for cup football and it's the Greek Cup Final between Volos NFC and Panserraikos. Here's the biggest preview available before kick-off:
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Gamma Ethniki Group 1 game only four days ago. That game, against Aetos Orfani, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Panserraikos.
Volos NFC form and stats
Volos NFC was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Greek Cup.3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Volos NFC so far this season.
Volos NFC lost their last game at Larissa after a 1-2 scoreline. 0-0 away at Asteras Tripolis before that.
Everyone expects Volos NFC to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 24 games: 19 home wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Volos NFC have won with at least two goals margin 16 times in similar situations.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Volos NFC as they have a new game in only three days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Panathinaikos are visiting.
The Volos NFC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Volos NFC have conceded 7 goals.
Panserraikos form and stats
Panserraikos was sent out of Greek Cup in the 2nd round last season, when Xanthi turned out to be too strong.Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Panserraikos so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Gamma Ethniki Group 1 statistics. In general it has been a productive period now for Panserraikos as they haven't lost any of their last 16 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Nestos Chrisoupolis game have they lost an away game, meaning Panserraikos has taken points from nine away matches in a row.
Panserraikos play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Aetos Orfani. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Nestos Chrisoupolis at their stadium, the result 5-0.
Panserraikos are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 45 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 19 wins, 6 draws and 20 defeats. Of the defeats, 10 games were lost by at least two goals margin.
Panserraikos have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 13 goals from 6 away matches. Panserraikos are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 3 away goals have been conceded so far.
