There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Super League game only three days ago. That game, against Apollon Smirnis, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Lamia.

PAOK form and stats

PAOK have performed here at Stadio Toumbas this season with 7 wins from 11 Super League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 0.

A strong away win for PAOK against PAS Giannina the last match, as Andrija Živković and Stefan Schwab were on target. Before that, PAOK had a Greek Cup home game versus Lamia which ended with a victory 5-2.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how PAOK have performed as huge favourites like they are today: twelve games found in the database showing eleven PAOK wins, one draw and zero defeats.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (24 in 11 games), PAOK's attacking play is working. PAOK have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lamia form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lamia so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Lamia goalkeeper Devis Rogers Epassy Mboka is eager to challenge this, with his 489 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's the second away game in a row for Lamia, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Apollon Smirnis (placed 9th) in the Super League last time out. A 0-0 draw at Asteras Tripolis's stadium before that.

Lamia are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found seven matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were one win, one draw and five defeats. Of the defeats, four games were lost by at least two goals margin.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Larissa.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Lamia's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 10 matches. 13 goals have been conceded by Lamia in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Lamia - PAOK 0-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): PAOK won eight games, zero matches ended with a draw and Lamia has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / five
