Larissa form and stats

There's been little loot from Larissa's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Super League. Larissa, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) away in Super League, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Larissa, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The PAS Giannina game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing four defeats in a row for Larissa in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus PAS Giannina.

Larissa have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 291 minutes ago. D. Pinakas was the goal scorer.

Two away games in a row for Larissa, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-5 versus PAOK in the Greek Cup. A 0-1 loss hosting Apollon Smirnis before that.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against PAOK was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Larissa playing away, we found six games. Results were two away wins, two draws and two home wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Aris.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Larissa have conceded 17 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
