The Olympiakos Piraeus manager P. da Mota Vieira Martins attacks this game with the team placed 3rd so far. In the visitors dressing room Apollon Smirnis and their manager G. Paraschos are in 10th place before this match.
The hosts Olympiakos saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Champions League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Porto.
Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats
As mentioned below, Olympiakos Piraeus are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Super League games.
The fans are hoping that Olympiakos will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Champions League game against Porto. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Olympique Marseille.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Olympiakos as they are travelling to their away game against Manchester City in the Champions League. That match is three days after this one.
Olympiakos are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (9 goals in 3 games). Defensively Olympiakos Piraeus have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (0 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Apollon Smirnis form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Super League ended in defeat. Last season Apollon Smirnis had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 1, drew 1 and lost 13. It's all red in the travel logs of Apollon Smirnis, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus PAS Giannina with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Aris wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Apollon's match history for similar games we find four matches. The home team won four of these as expected, two of them by at least two goals. Apollon Smirnis managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.
The schedule is very tough for Apollon now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super League game at Panathinaikos is waiting in only three days.
0 goals so far away for Apollon Smirnis, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Olympiakos, one draw and one win for Apollon Smirnis. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
