Season ticket holders at Nea Smyrni haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Panionios languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting OFI will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Panionios form and stats

Panionios's struggle is real here at Nea Smyrni with only 8 points collected from 9 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-5. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Panionios with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Panaitolikos game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Panionios, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 423 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Emmanouilidis was the last player to find the net.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Panionios, who played 1-1 against Panaitolikos. That match was also played at this venue (Nea Smyrni). Prior to that, an away loss at Panathinaikos in the Super League.

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.

OFI form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for OFI so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing seven defeats in a row for OFI in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Panathinaikos. Recent form does not give OFI much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Panionios will be a tough nut to crack.

Two away games in a row for OFI, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus PAOK in the Greek Cup. A 0-2 defeat away at Asteras Tripolis before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as OFI are hosting Olympiakos Piraeus in the Super League only four days away.

OFI are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as OFI have conceded 16 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
