Apollon Smirnis vs Atromitos betting preview: Even match expected

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Apollon Smirnis and Atromitos should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Apollon Smirnis form and stats

Apollon Smirnis's struggle is real here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras with only 9 points collected from 12 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-6-5. With eight home Super League games in a row without a win, the Apollon Smirnis fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the PAS Giannina game long ago, can be stopped today.

Apollon are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Ionikos.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Lamia with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Apollon Smirnis perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Apollon Smirnis as a small favourite), we find ten games. Apollon Smirnis has won four of these, drawn two and lost four.

Apollon has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 4 goals from 12 games.

Atromitos form and stats

There's been little loot from Atromitos's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 12 away games in the Super League. Atromitos only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Atromitos have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Olympiakos Piraeus game.

Atromitos are travelling again after losing away to Aris in their previous match (0-3).

Before that, Atromitos secured a home win against Asteras Tripolis with the score 2-0.

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 eleven relevant matches. Results were two Atromitos wins, four draws and five defeats.

A new game in only three days for Atromitos, the Super League home match versus Volos NFC. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atromitos as they have only managed to score 7 times from 12 away games in the league. The Atromitos manager Coleman has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels. When Atromitos is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Ionikos, Panaitolikos, Lamia and Atromitos.
