Apollon Smirnis form and stats

Only two Super League home games for Apollon Smirnis so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Apollon crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to PAS Giannina here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in a Super League match. Heartbreak before that as Apollon lost 0-1 at Aris's place.

The penalty miss from Fatjon Andoni in the defeat against PAS Giannina was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

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 five matches with the results: Won four, drawn zero and lost one.
