Volos NFC hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 26 points and a 11th position in the Super League table. Visiting Asteras Tripolis holds 8th place with 26 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Asteras Tripolis are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
