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 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras. The home fans are hungry for more even though Apollon Smirnis have been steadily collecting points here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras through three straight draws.

The spoils were shared in Apollon Smirnis's previous game, also at home. Visiting Olympiakos Piraeus (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Atromitos (1-4).

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 as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Apollon Smirnis has won five of these, drawn two and lost four.

Apollon Smirnis have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Apollon Smirnis have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

OFI form and stats

As the visiting team matches, OFI, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) away in Super League, have produced an overall stat of 3-3-1 so far.

There were no winners in OFI's previous match, a Super League home game that ended 1-1 vs PAS Giannina (placed 5th).

Prior to that match, the OFI manager Nioplias faced defeat when travelling to Asteras Tripolis and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with OFI playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five OFI wins, two draws and four defeats.

The schedule is very tough for OFI now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super League game at PAOK is waiting in only three days.

OFI have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
