All in all it has been a very rough period for Apollon who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against PAS Giannina, 116 days ago.

Stress levels are on the rise for Apollon Smirnis's attacking players as they have now played 882 minutes without scoring in a league game. Fation was their last goal scorer.

The spoils were shared in Apollon's previous game, also at home. Visiting Panaitolikos (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as Apollon Smirnis lost 0-3 at AEK Athens's place.

Panathinaikos form and stats

Panathinaikos have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-1-7 (10 played). Panathinaikos has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Panathinaikos had fun at their own home (Stadio Georgios Kamaras) last time out, beating Lamia 2-0. Ioannidis (2) scored.

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

The attacking power of Panathinaikos when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. As opposed to that, Panathinaikos have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
