Lamia form and stats

Lamia's results here at Dimotiko Athlitiko Kentro Lamias in the Super League have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Lamia, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

In their previous game, the manager Grigoriou led his Lamia to a defeat in the Super League match away at PAOK. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Dimotiko Athlitiko Kentro Lamias.

Preceding that match was the home game against PAS Giannina that was lost 0-1.

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 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn seven and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lamia as they are travelling to their away game against Olympiakos Piraeus in the Super League. That match is four days after this one.

Lamia has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lamia defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Volos NFC form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Volos NFC so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Volos who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Ionikos was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Two away games in a row for Volos, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus PAS Giannina in the Super League.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Panaitolikos.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Volos NFC playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Volos wins, one draw and one defeat.

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

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Volos are regular goalscorers on their travels. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Volos's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 16 goals in 6 travels.
