Apollon Smirnis form and stats

Apollon Smirnis's results here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 4 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Apollon, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Apollon crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Panathinaikos here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in a Super League match. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting PAS Giannina.

Asteras Tripolis form and stats

Asteras Tripolis have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-4-3 (8 played). Tripolis has drawn their two previous away games.

L. Fernandez was the last player to score for the away team. Asteras Tripolis haven't scored a league goal in the last 186 minutes.

Tripolis might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Olympiakos Piraeus proved too strong as Asteras Tripolis slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Theodoros Kolokotronis. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Panathinaikos that ended 0-0.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Olympiakos Piraeus was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The visiting Tripolis have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 8 games. Asteras Tripolis's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
