Asteras Tripolis form and stats

2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Asteras Tripolis so far this season.

Tripolis haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Riera scored that one.

The spoils were shared in Tripolis's previous game, also at home. Visiting AEK Athens (placed 2nd) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Aris.

Asteras Tripolis are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Asteras Tripolis have conceded 7 goals.

Panaitolikos form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Panaitolikos playing as the away team in the Super League this season.

Panaitolikos's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Ionikos that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Ionikos after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Anastasiou needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Volos NFC at their stadium, the result 2-1.

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

Panaitolikos have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. The Panaitolikos manager Anastasiou has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The two combatants have met earlier this season: Panaitolikos - Tripolis 0-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Tripolis victories, five draws and one Panaitolikos win. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.
