Insights:
  • PAS Giannina has the most dropped points from leading position (18) in Super League
  • OFI has the most conceded goals (36) in Super League

PAS Giannina form and stats

PAS Giannina's struggle is real here at Stadio Zosimades with only 7 points collected from 11 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-6. Game days at Stadio Zosimades have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Giannina as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Giannina's last game was hosting Panathinaikos (placed 5th) and winning 2-1. Preceding that match was the home Super League game against PAOK that was lost 0-2.

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 Giannina have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for PAS Giannina here at Stadio Zosimades in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 11 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Giannina have conceded 13 goals.

OFI form and stats

OFI, who have the most conceded goals (36) in Super League, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Super League, after 3-1-6 (10 played). With the OFI losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as OFI have lost on their last two travels.

The manager G. Simos was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Stadio Thódoros Vardinoyánnis. OFI suffered a 1-2 loss to Volos NFC (placed 7th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Olympiakos Piraeus wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with OFI playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three OFI wins, one draw and four defeats.

The attacking power of OFI when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as OFI have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
