With their 4 point advantage in the league table, OFI fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Lamia.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Relegation threatens OFI who should definitely be looking for some points here. Lamia are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

OFI form and stats

7-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for OFI so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager G. Simos led his OFI to a defeat in the Super League match away at AEK Athens. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis. Before that, OFI had a home game versus Atromitos which ended with a victory 1-0.

The game against AEK Athens was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

The OFI fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. OFI are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 12 matches.

Lamia form and stats

Lamia have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-4-6 (12 played). With three draws in a row for Lamia the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

There were no winners in Lamia's previous match, a Super League home game that ended 2-2 vs Aris (placed 5th). A 0-0 draw at Xanthi's stadium before that.

It looked so good for Lamia vs Aris, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Lamia's match history for similar games we find five matches. The home team won four of these as expected, three of them by at least two goals. Lamia managed zero draws and one surprise win.

The attacking power of Lamia when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As opposed to that, Lamia have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Lamia - OFI 2-1 entered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: zero - two - three (OFI wins - draws - Lamia wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
