Panaitolikos form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Panaitolikos have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Panetolikou. When Panaitolikos hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Apollon Smirnis, Ionikos, Panaitolikos and Lamia), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Panaitolikos lost their last game at Asteras Tripolis (placed 8th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Heartbreak for Panaitolikos in their last match as Asteras Tripolis's Xesc scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ionikos that ended 2-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Panaitolikos have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Panaitolikos, as the Greek Cup home game vs Niki Volos is only four days away.

The Panaitolikos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Panaitolikos have conceded 11 from these games.

Atromitos form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Atromitos so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Atromitos are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Koulouris was the last player to score for the away team. Atromitos haven't scored a league goal in the last 195 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Atromitos in their previous game, as they lost their Super League-match, hosting Olympiakos Piraeus, 0-3.

A 0-2 defeat away at Panathinaikos before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Atromitos in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Atromitos, four draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Atromitos when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Atromitos are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head
