Larissa form and stats

Larissa's struggle is real here at Stadio Alkazar with only 5 points collected from 9 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-5-4. All in all it has been a very rough period for Larissa who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against PAS Giannina, 102 days ago. Larissa are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Alkazar with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Panathinaikos match.

D. Pinakas was the last player to score a league goal for Larissa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Larissa haven't scored in 561 minutes.

The Larissa fans got no joy from their last match, a Greek Cup game also here at Stadio Alkazar: A 1-2 defeat against PAOK (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Volos NFC that ended 0-0.

The lack of attacking qualities in Larissa means that they have only scored 3 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 10 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

AEK Athens form and stats

AEK Athens's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed AEK Athens collect 22 points from their 10 away matches in the Super League. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats).

Impressive finishing from P. Mandalos, Nélson Oliveira and M. Tankovic (2) secured the home win 4-2 against Volos NFC in their previous game. The game before that, in the Super League, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Aris.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Volos NFC was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

The travelling fans enjoy AEK Athens's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. As opposed to that, AEK Athens have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; AEK Athens - Larissa 4-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Larissa won two games, three matches ended with a draw and AEK Athens has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
