Volos NFC form and stats

When playing at home in the Super League, Volos NFC have managed 5 wins, 0 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games.

A good away victory last time out for Volos NFC, who won 2-1 against AEK Athens (placed 3rd).

Before that game, the home loss against PAOK with the scoreline 0-4.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Volos have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost one.

Volos NFC are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Aris awaits in three days.

Volos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 10 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Volos NFC defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Ionikos form and stats

Ionikos have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-2-7 (10 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ionikos's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing from Cañas and Lenis secured the home win 2-1 against Atromitos in their previous game.

A loss against Panathinaikos was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Ionikos have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were one victory, zero draws and five defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Ionikos are hosting Olympiakos Piraeus in the Super League only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in Ionikos's away league games. Only 7 goals from 10 travels. The attacking power of Ionikos when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Ionikos have conceded 16 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
