OFI form and stats

OFI have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 15 points collected from 6 matches (5-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 4th position in the table.

In their previous game, the manager G. Simos led his OFI to a defeat in the Super League match away at Lamia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium. Previous to that game, a Greek Cup home match hosting Kavala in a game that was won 4-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with OFI perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with OFI as a small favourite), we find one game. OFI has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for OFI, as the Super League home game vs Panathinaikos is only four days away.

OFI can score goals in their home matches. After 6 league matches they have found the net 13 times. OFI have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Aris form and stats

Playing away, Aris have won 1 game, drawn 4 and suffered 1 defeat in the Super League this season. With three draws in a row for Aris the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. It's three draws from Aris's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Aris are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Atromitos (placed 10th). A draw for Aris before that, at their own venue hosting Lamia (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Aris in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Aris, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Aris find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. Aris have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Aris - OFI 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 4 - 3 (OFI wins - draws - Aris wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 8 had two or less.
