The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. OFI are in the 9th position while the guesting Lamia worry at 14th.

Insights:
  • OFI have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
  • Lamia has the fewest scored goals (7) in Super League

It's no vacation for neither OFI nor Lamia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

OFI form and stats

OFI's results here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for OFI, their manager G. Simos and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

No payout for OFI in their previous match, an away game at Panaitolikos that ended in defeat 1-2. Before that game, the home loss against Aris with the scoreline 0-3.

The manager G. Simos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atromitos in only three days.

OFI are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the OFI defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
