Season ticket holders at Stadio Neas Smirnis haven't seen too many victories this season, with Panionios languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Xanthi will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Panionios have had a bad season and will be relegated from Super League. Xanthi are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Panionios form and stats
With 3 Super League wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Panionios, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
In their previous game, the manager N. Papavasiliou led his Panionios to a defeat in the Super League match away at Aris. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Néas Smírnis. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Atromitos.
This is expected to be a close game, with Panionios perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Panionios as a small favourite), we find six games. Panionios has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.
Panionios have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Panionios have conceded 11 goals.
Xanthi form and stats
The visitors are W4-D0-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Xanthi are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Xanthi, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Olympiakos Piraeus (placed 1st). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against OFI.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Xanthi in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Xanthi, two draws and three defeats.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Xanthi have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Xanthi - Panionios 1-2. Panionios-Xanthi H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Panionios six wins, Xanthi two wins, two draws. two of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
