OFI form and stats

OFI's results here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis in the Super League have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as OFI have lost eight games in a row. It's been an uphill battle for OFI in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Lamia game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

OFI are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Apollon Smirnis. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting PAS Giannina (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how OFI have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost four.

OFI aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis in the league, with only 10 goals from 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the OFI defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
