Panathinaikos form and stats

Panathinaikos have collected 7 points from their Super League home games so far after 2-1-3. Panathinaikos has recorded two wins in a row here at Spiros Louis Olympic Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The home team returns to Spiros Louis Olympic Stadium after sharing the points with Volos NFC (placed 11th) on their last time out; the Super League game ended 1-1. Before that, Panathinaikos had a Greek Cup home game versus Panachaiki which ended with a victory 2-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Panathinaikos as they are travelling to their away game against OFI in the Super League. That match is four days after this one.

Panathinaikos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Lamia form and stats

There's been little loot from Lamia's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Super League. Lamia only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

The supporters enjoyed Lamia's previous game versus OFI (placed 4th), a Super League 2-1 win played at home. Before that, Lamia secured a home win against Aiolikos with the score 3-0.

The schedule is very tough for Lamia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super League game at Atromitos is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Lamia, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Lamia - Panathinaikos 1-1, played this season. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's 4 Panathinaikos victories, 2 draws and 3 Lamia wins. 2 of these games ended with three goals or more, 7 matches with two goals or less.
