OFI, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Super League, only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. OFI are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Lamia fixture. Bitter travels for OFI as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Atromitos match.

OFI's previous game was their home loss versus Larissa (2-3). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Apollon Smirnis wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The attacking power of OFI when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. OFI have conceded 18 goals in these games.
