Apollon Smirnis form and stats

Apollon Smirnis's struggle is real here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras with only 6 points collected from 13 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 1-3-9. 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 seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Xanthi match. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Apollon Smirnis to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager B. Tennes led his Apollon Smirnis to a defeat in the Super League match away at Atromitos. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras. Preceding that match was a defeat to Panathinaikos (1-3).

Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Panaitolikos's last three away games as they have all been lost.
