Panaitolikos form and stats

There's been little loot from Panaitolikos's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Panaitolikos, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Super League, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. Panaitolikos has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Panaitolikos delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Atromitos (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Super League game. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Lamia.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Panaitolikos's match history for similar games we find five matches. The home team won five of these as expected, three of them by at least two goals. Panaitolikos managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Panaitolikos manager T. Dellas as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Olympiakos Piraeus.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Panaitolikos's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Panaitolikos have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
