The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Apollon Smirnis are in the 9th position while the guesting Lamia worry at 13th.
- Apollon Smirnis has the most conceded goals in the first half (16) in Super League
- Lamia has the fewest scored goals in the second half (5) in Super League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Apollon Smirnis and Lamia.
Apollon Smirnis form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Apollon Smirnis have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras.
Apollon's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Atromitos (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Apollon played out a draw 2-2 when visiting PAOK.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Paraschos when Abiola Dauda scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 34th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Apollon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won five, drawn zero and lost one.
There will be little rest for Apollon after this match as they are travelling to Volos NFC for a Super League game in only four days.
Apollon Smirnis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
Lamia form and stats
There's been little loot from Lamia's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Lamia only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. Lamia has built quite a streak of draws from their away games now, as four in a row has ended all square. Will this streak be broken in today's game?
Lamia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 257 minutes ago. A. Karamanos was the goal scorer. The Lamia goalkeeper Devis Rogers Epassy Mboka is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 399 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Lamia are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Asteras Tripolis (placed 6th). Prior to that match, the Lamia manager M. Grigoriou faced defeat when travelling to PAOK and losing 2-5.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Lamia in our archives, and the results are: one win for Lamia, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to PAOK.
Goals are few and far between in Lamia's away league games. Only 3 goals from 9 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Lamia have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
