Panionios are welcoming Lamia for another important game after their 0-1 result against 10th-placed Lamia.

It's no vacation for neither Panionios nor Lamia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Panionios form and stats

With 2 Super League wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Panionios are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Panionios are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Panionios manager N. Papavasiliou might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

D. Emmanouilidis was the last player to score a league goal for Panionios and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Panionios haven't scored in 333 minutes.

The Panionios fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at Nea Smyrni: A 0-1 defeat against Lamia (placed 10th). Heartbreak before that as Panionios lost 0-2 at Larissa's place.

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 Panionios have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 3.

Panionios aren't scoring a lot here at Nea Smyrni in the league, with only 7 goals from 9 games. 9 goals have been conceded.

Lamia form and stats

There's been little loot from Lamia's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Lamia only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

186 minutes! That's how long the Lamia goalkeeper Konstantinos Theodoropoulos and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

It's the second away game in a row for Lamia, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Panionios (placed 14th) in the Super League last time out. A draw for Lamia before that, at their own venue hosting AEK Athens (0-0).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Lamia in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Lamia, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lamia as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Lamia have conceded 15 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Panionios - Lamia 0-1. Panionios-Lamia H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Panionios 4 wins, Lamia 3 wins, 2 draws. 1 of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
