Season ticket holders at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis haven’t seen too many victories this season, with OFI languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Volos NFC will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- OFI has the most conceded goals (34) in Super League
- Volos NFC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
The visiting Volos NFC played their last game only four days ago, a Greek Cup match. That game was also an away game, at AEK Athens. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
OFI form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. OFI, who have the most conceded goals (34) in Super League, have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis. It's trouble wherever OFI are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for OFI as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
OFI are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 545 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by N. Vafeas).
OFI faced defeat in their previous match, away at Olympiakos Piraeus (0-3). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Volos NFC that ended 1-1.
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 twelve games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost three.
OFI have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
Volos NFC form and stats

Volos have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 347 minutes ago. A. Douvikas was the goal scorer.
Volos play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to AEK Athens (placed 4th). The game before that, in the Super League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Asteras Tripolis.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Volos, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
