Apollon Smirnis form and stats

With 1 win, 3 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Apollon Smirnis, who have the fewest points (6) at home in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Apollon Smirnis are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Xanthi match. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Apollon Smirnis with their five defeats in a row. Not since the OFI game, 55 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

In their previous game, the manager L. Velentzas led his Apollon Smirnis to a defeat in the Super League match away at Xanthi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras. Preceding that match was the home game against Panaitolikos that was lost 0-1.

Apollon Smirnis has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches: 6 goals from 14 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.

Lamia form and stats

Lamia have only collected 11 points from their away games after 2-5-7 (14 played). Lamia seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Greek Cup home defeat versus AEK Athens with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Olympiakos Piraeus.

The attacking power of Lamia when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored in 14 matches. As opposed to that, Lamia have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
