Larissa form and stats

Larissa, who have the most conceded goals (15) away in Super League, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Grigoriou, the Larissa manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
