Apollon Smirnis form and stats

With 1 Super League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Apollon Smirnis are certainly not brimming with confidence. Apollon have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that Apollon Smirnis will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the Super League game against Atromitos (placed 13th).

In the match before that, Apollon hosted Lamia and drew the game 0-0.

The manager Festa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Volos NFC in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Apollon here at Stadio Georgios Kamaras in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). Apollon Smirnis have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Panathinaikos form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Panathinaikos so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

Impressive finishing from Carlitos and Palacios secured the home win 2-0 against Atromitos in their previous game.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AEK Athens wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Panathinaikos are hosting PAS Giannina in the Super League only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Panathinaikos as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Panathinaikos have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
