Apollon Smirnis form and stats
Apollon Smirnis's results here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats. Apollon are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Larissa match.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 197 minutes without scoring a league goal. S. Tsiloulis was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Apollon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super League game against Lamia (placed 13th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Aris (0-1).
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Olympiakos Piraeus to win. Let's see if Apollon Smirnis are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: two games found revealing zero Apollon Smirnis wins, zero draws and two defeats.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Apollon as they have a new game in only four days, a Greek Cup match thankfully also at home. AEK Athens are visiting.
Apollon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Apollon have conceded 15 from these games.

Olympiakos Piraeus are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Super League against PAOK (placed 4th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Atromitos at their stadium, the result 1-0.
As mentioned earlier, Olympiakos will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in eight wins (six by two or more goals winning margin), five draws and zero surprising defeats.
