OFI form and stats

Home games in the Super League have been a walk in the park for OFI so far, with 18 points won from 7 matches; 6 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Panathinaikos in the Super League last time out and are looking for a win here. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Aris in a game that was won 3-1.

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 two games. OFI has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The OFI manager G. Simos has got the team scoring with 16 from 7 home games in the league. OFI are not conceding a lot of goals here at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.

Panathinaikos form and stats

The visitors are W2-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. The awayteam now has four consecutive draws when travelling away from home.

Panathinaikos has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to OFI for a Super League game that ended a draw (1-1). Before that, Panathinaikos secured a home win against Lamia with the score 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Panathinaikos playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 2 Panathinaikos wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Panathinaikos as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Panathinaikos have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; OFI - Panathinaikos 1-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 6 OFI victories, 2 draws and 2 Panathinaikos wins. 7 of these games ended with three goals or more, 3 matches with two goals or less.
