Lamia form and stats

Lamia's struggle is real here at Dimotiko Athlitiko Kentro Lamias with only 6 points collected from 9 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-5. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Lamia after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Aris that finished 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lamia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won five, drawn seven and lost two.

Lamia has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lamia defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

OFI form and stats

4-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for OFI in their Super League matches away.

OFI might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Panaitolikos proved too strong as OFI slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against PAOK wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with OFI playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five OFI wins, two draws and four defeats.

After this away game OFI return home for a Super League game against Panathinaikos. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visiting OFI have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 9 games. OFI are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 9 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
