Lamia and Panionios has both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Super League.

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.

Lamia form and stats

Lamia have played 12 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). The last three games played by Lamia, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Lamia drew their last game, 0-0 away at Asteras Tripolis (placed 11th). The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus PAS Giannina.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lamia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lamia as a small favourite), we find two games. Lamia has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0. There will be little rest for Lamia after this match as they are travelling to AEK Athens for a Greek Cup game in only three days.

Lamia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 12 goals in 12 matches. Lamia have conceded 13 in these home matches.
