Lamia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 11th position in the Super League table. Visiting Larissa holds 9th place with 25 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Larissa are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
